The owner bought this bike into us as it had no service history. He wanted us to check the bike over, run it on the dyno and make sure it was behaving correctly and would be safe for use on the race track.
Although the bikes initial checks came back quite positive there was an idle and stalling issue we discovered. Once we delved a bit deeper into finding the cause we discovered this motor was a ticking time bomb waiting to happen.
Watch the video below to learn how we found the issue and saved this engine from future catastrophic damage.
