    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Cylinder problems

So it seems like one of the cylinders isn't firing. My best guess is that it's running lean in one cylinder? It seems that there's not enough fuel or enough spark in one cylinder. It won't idle long. It revs at 500 and jumps to 1200rpm and then dies after a bit. Also, since I got the bike when it's warming up and the rpm's are high it makes a popping noise. Well it was making that popping noise after it started running funny. When it's idling it stalls like there's not enough rpm to keep it on. When i ride it how I always ride (sitting at 3500-4000rpms unless in heavy traffic or on the freeway) it stutters like there's a reoccurring low level of power, and when I ride it with high rpm's it pops and seems a little underpowered.

You need to tell us how many of the Newbie items you've actually done, plus your airbox/exhaust set up

You obviously have an air leak with the rising idle
 
Newbie Mistakes tread is linked in my signature. You might want to take a gander and take action on as many of the items as possible.

Good luck
