Now then I wonder if any one can help?
I Have a 1985 K100, just serviced and it runs very well whilst cool however struggles when I get past 6000rpm and seems to stutter. This I can live with because I have not got it to thrash! However the engine pulls strongly from 1500 rpm untill it is hot, it then takes untill 2500 rpm to start to pull. Also if I close the throttle and come to a standstill, it dies and won't start again untill it has cooled off a bit. The fans are working well and the temp light never comes on. My oil pressure light comes on at tick over at 1000 rpm as well as the battery light however a bit of throttle and they both go out. When choke is out and cold the engine runs at about 1500 rpm. If I put the choke on after riding for a while it increases to about 2500 rpm? Im stumped, any ideas?
