    ever so slight bogging

    right at idle to about 1700 rpm, there is a bog down on my 1100, im trying to figure it out, but have had no sucess, anyone have any ideas? fuel flooding, or starving?

    Could be tied in to your other post, maybe not enough electrical juice to the coils.

    Fuel starvation usually shows up at high speed.

      Does the bogging get worse when the motor's warmed up or does it do it both cold and warmed up?
      Have you checked the airbox for good sealing? Also check the airbox- carb boot clamps for tight. Is the air filter clean? Have you moved the mixture screws? Are the plugs gapped and in good condition?
      Did you inherit this problem or did the bike just suddenly start doing it?
      And on the seventh day,after resting from all that he had done,God went for a ride on his GS!
      Upon seeing that it was good, he went out again on his ZX14! But just a little bit faster!

          Check the voltage at the coils, if there's a drop of more then .5 volt check your wiring.

            The pod filters require changing the jetting. The bog could be the pilot circuit or the needle circuit. CV carbs can be difficult to jet sometimes.
            Did you get any info with the bike about the jetting? Do you also have a 4-1 pipe?
            "Bogging" is a word that can describe both a lean or a rich condition. If the bike was not re-jetted, it is certainly very lean.
            If this is the case, you may be able to adjust your mixture screws OUT some and see if that helps. Be aware the mixture screws can be tight and may even still be capped. Use a good fitting tool to avoid stripping the heads. These screws are GENERALLY about 2 turns out. They help regulate the pilot circuit up to 5 turns out. Turning them out beyond that is no use. At that point you would need a larger pilot jet and re-set the screws to where they were.
            Try turning them out 1 full turn further than they are now and test. If your bogging gets WORSE, turn them back in to where they were and turn them 1 additional turn in and test.
            If turning them out 1 additional full turn from where they are initially HELPS, then try another 1/2 turn out and test/fine tune.
            This procedure is easy to do and doesn't cost a thing. It would be good to know what, if any, changes were made to your jetting. You would have to re-jet the pilot circuit as I said and also the needle and main circuits.
