Hi all,
My bike is MK2 sorry for the confusion. 1997
Well I fitted the 1998 R1 pump yesterday , only to find that the bike was getting very hot on the RH cyl and back firing when the rev's dropped off, the top speed I could manage was only 105mph.
I'm not sure what's causing the problem with the R1 pump, anyway I changed the pump back over to the std vaccum type and all well , I gained another 20mph with no back firing.
I'll test the bike out for a couple of weeks before I decide what to do with the R1 pump. You may see it on this forum
Question.
With the R1 pump fitted could the petrol flow be too great for the carb's causing the back firing , but why only the RH cyl ? I do have twin Lazer Proline racing exhusts fitted.
