Hi guys
After my bike was assembled I took it out for a testride. It ran good, but suddenly it lost all power and was running very rough.
The electrics are fine and the engine cranks as I should. I have spark, fuelpressure, and the injectors squirt out fuel but I'm not sure it's enough?
When comparing videos on youtube it seems like their injectors spray out a decent amount of fuel, which mine don't.
The fuel pump "sounds" fine, and i pulled off the fuelfilter hose where I saw there was pressure in the system.
When I press the linkage down on the throttle body so the butterflys close fully, the bike farts and coughs a little and is not far from starting.
What could be wrong? Not enough fuelpressure, maybe caused by the fuelfilter?
I appreciate any ideas
