I bought my first bike, an NSR Mc18 only 6 weeks ago and am having major troubles with it!
Seeing as I dont know much about bikes, was wondering if anyone could help - here are the facts to whats been happening to the bike:
About 4 weeks ago I was getting a real strong smell of fuel, the powerband not always kicking in, sometimes just revs harder when it should kick in! Asked my mate whom i bought the bike from, and he told me the choke cable doesnt work. I replaced all spark plugs, checked for blackness and whiteness to see if I was running too rich or not enough fuel was getting in, then it was fine for 3 weeks or so. I just took it out for a spin yesterday and I have absolutly no power! Revs aren't up, can only go 100kmh, if I try to go into 4th the revs drop below 6000rpm. No powerband at all, its only good in 3rd gear 7-9000rpm, when I take off a mother and her stroller are quicker than me!!!!
Just wondering if anyone has had any problems like this and seeing if they can push me in the right direction before I take it to a mechanic, as they will rip me off as I'm a very rank amature when it comes to bikes!!!!
Please HELP!!!!!
