Hello, I am haveing a wired issue with throttle after a get to a about half or a little over half my throttle i start to get slugish and slow down when its fully open i slow down alot and very slugish then i notice my battey is low (hard start and dim dash lights) I was going to replace the stator soon becuase i think that bad. Anyone have any ideas? can it be the stator?
 
BTW it was working perfect for about 50 miles got off and let it sit for about 3 hours now haveing this issue it has happend before i just figured it was because of the battary
 
Go thru your electrics

Read the Stator Papers

Tell us what bike you have
 
Oh, sorry I have a 1982 gs450 tx I checked all the cables everthing is good only thing i know is that i need to replace that stator. What do you mean stator papers?
 
Sounds like stator papers time but I would also look real close at your hoses and make sure you don't have any vacuum leaks there. But yea, check your electrical stuff.

Did you ever read up on the link to Basscliff's site I gave you in your first thread? If not, go there and read and even hit the "In the Garage" page on the main GS Resources site.
 
Yeah I did read his site I could not find anything linking a bad stator to this issue thats why i was asking. I not really sure what you guys mean by stator papers tho..
 
Yes I did look at the stator check and it does need to be replaced. my question I have is it possible the issues Im having now is linked to the stator. if not what other things do you think it could be clogged air filter?
 
Check that, check your vacuum hose from your petcock, verify your throttle cable is not hanging up somewhere.

Did you run through all of the stator paper tests as best you could? When you replace the stator then redo them again.

I don't remember but when was the last time you dipped the carbs and replaced all of your orings? Did you replace the intake boot orings as well?

Add your bike info to your signature block so you don't have to remember telling us about it.
 
I will check all of those things. I have never dipped the carbs or replace the orings. or the intake boots or orings. this seemed like a random issues so did not think to. do you think I should? and I will do that thanks.

Go back to Basscliff's page and re-read the READ ME page. Those ten to 15 items NEED to be addressed if you want a well running machine.

Based on you saying you have not dipped your carbs, I would think maybe your jets are clogged up pretty good. Don't short cut the dipping process by thinking you only need to spray carb cleaner in there. Take them off the bike, disassemble them, dip each carb body and the metal pieces in the Berrymans for 24 hours each, blow them out with cleaner and compressed air, run a wire through each jet, and reassemble them. Make sure you bench synch them, do the valve adjustment, and do the final synching.

Failure to spend the time properly taking care of that bike now will make your problems worse as you go along.
 
Ive had a similar issue a year ago when it would lose all power and would die on the high way.. I would just start it back up after a while and it would be just normal intill it happend again.( it would die like I had no gas but I did) it does not do that anymore just when im alittle over 3/4 throttle it jerks and slows down alot I think it might be the sound of missfireing but I dont know. does that still sound like carb issues or could it be something with the ignitor?

Do the maintenance that was recommended first and then we can go from there as it will be easier with a good benchmark.
