Hello everyone, I'm new here but wanted to get some feedback from someone who's maybe run into this issue also. I've got an old Honda CBR600-Hurricane. ran fine all last year until about the end of the summer. Then when it gets hot it bogs out in accelerating conditions. Once I get it to about 3k rpm it evens out and is okay. I took it to TFOG upon the recommendation of someone I knew who rides a much newer bike. First they said it was the jets, probably haven't been swapped out for high altitude (since I had no idea where the bike came from before the guy I bought it from). I made an appt and had the jets swapped out with a stage two kit. At first when I got it back I was happy as it seemed to solve the problem. That only lasted about a week until it got a little warmer out and the bike started bogging out when hot again. I called TFOG and let'm know what was going on. They said bring it back in. I did and they leaned out the mixture. I was halfway home when the bike started running so crappy (more of this bogging under acceleration, felt like it was vapor locking honestly) that I turned around and took the bike back to TFOG. they test rode it and said that they'd not experienced the issue until then (okay, but it's been in there for a month already). I left it with them again. I'd call a couple times a week and was told initially that they thought it was a vapor lock issue, and they'd tried a myriad of insulation tricks to see if that would help. Nothing did. So they tore into the carbs again and upon closer inspection they found that the "needle jets" were worn out on a couple of the carbs and that what was causing the erratic nature of the problem. They said that those parts weren't intended to be replaced so they were going to have to get another set of carbs and make one good from two. (gasp... long story but therein is my frustration) Here's where I'm stuck... I'm frustrated with the fact that the bike's been in the shop now for 9 of 10 weeks. I would like to think that the shop's being straight and it's just been a m.f.r of a problem. So one question is, has anyone had anything like this happen to their carborated bikes? Second: has anyone had good or bad experiences w/TFOG? Third: should this have been something that was discovered when they did the jet job? All info is appreciated at this point!
PS... I'm going insane w/o my bike!
