Please dont take the mick outta me, something isnt right with my boy and I cant pin point it. You know when ya know and I have been riding constantly for nearly 22 years so I do know when somethings up, just getting men(sorry to say) to believe me and listen! He had the probs before xmas that took me off the road. Replaced all the plugs, new air filter (last one lasted 3 months...wot!!!!), new rocker cover gasket, plug gaskets blah blah. Yeah he is running but not right, using too much petrol, sounds like not running on all 4, I dunno. What can I do, I seriously need someone who knows what they are talking about to guide me in right direction. Hope Ive not offended anyone saying what i have but hey, you know me I speak it as it is....when I dare!!! On here I always dare!!!

Start with the simple things, have they kinked the fuel hose putting it back together, have they put the plug caps on correctly, are all the connections tight.
check the choke linkage, to ensure that the choke is shutting off when closed.

My ex is working on it as I dont trust the shops anymore, he has checked all these things. He has mentioned that he has a feeling maybe the choke is sticking but I disagree with him but once again its someone who listens but sometimes falls on deaf ears if ya know what I mean. Got a mate coming over 2moro with...correct me if Im wrong diagnostic equipment. Whatever that is. I personally think its a fuel/ carburettor prob dont ask me why cause I cant answer. Roll on the summer when I can use the Z650, I know how to strip and rebuild that bike and its so easy to work out, just pees me off I cant bloody work on the beast ZRX Traitor I know :mut:

Just read this thread.
Is it doing it all the time or just sometimes?
Carb icing maybe?

oops......sorry forgot to ever say what happened. I got the beast back the 2nd week of Jan, still got probs that need sorting but I havent got the time to have bike off the road til weather improves and I can get the Z650 sorted. Yes kev, I am suffering from carb icing but Im using isopropanol for that. Still got the loosing power prob and not running on all 4. Its sluggish, eating fuel and generally screaming "FOR GOD SAKES WOMAN, 4 YEARS WITH YOU ON MY BACK AND 45,000 MILES WITH MINIMAL LOVE AND ATTENTION YOU`D BE KNACKERED TO!!"
