What colour is the plug. Do a plug chop.

carl13671 · DTR Senior Member

Yeah ta mate,ive had the filter out and in ,snorkel on and off,tried the air screw 1/4 turns from fully shut to 3 turns open

carl13671 · DTR Senior Member

Plug is brand new new,its starting to go brown but is getting wet due to fuel being put in put not getting used.

Could be dodget ht lead. Or faulty coil. Misfiring. It's only going to be a few things.

carl13671 · DTR Senior Member

Ive tried 2 coils and they were both the same mate.

Im saying its a missfire because this is how it seems looking at the dash when the spark drops out although there is no backfire or popping.

Im not sure what problems are associated with CDI's

MDK · DTR Legend

Faulty plug! I get this when my plug is oiled up in fact I have it now, I've had my plug in for months now so popping a new one in now!!
I get spluttering, popping and banging...

It's defo from the spark side of things-plug/ht lead etc

yep i had it same with oily plug..infact it got that bad- it kept spluttering and dying- stuck a iridium plug in and much better :p

I replaced an iridium plug with a standard no9 ngk I found in the garage which turned out to be faulty so I've just replaced that with an iridium and she pulled up to 75mph no Botha!!

You need to check distance of the probe on end of plug but personally I would buy a second plug in case that one is faulty!!

Cheers dread,ken

I have replaced the plug with a brand new 9ES gapped @ 0.8mm,

Although it is not an iridium and there is no arcing as I have a new NGK plug cap.

Does anyone have 3rm 30 CDI can try?

You got exhaust wadding in the DEP? I had similar problems and it turned out to be my exhaust padding. Pull the end off your DEP, take the baffle and wadding out, warm it up, try again.

Except mine wasn't popping etc.

hello mate did you ever sort this problem as mine is also having same thing iv just put a post on here on mine tryed every think could possible and still no luck

carl13671 · DTR Senior Member

Yeah it turned out to be an air problem as mentioned,in that it needed about a gallon more of the stuff and eventually I settled on a 260 jet.

It needed the snorkel off and abit more.

Currently got holes in the fllter lid until I can figure a way of getting more air in wthout it being all barpy.

chronik17 · DTR Member

ah your lucky did your problem just start one day or did you change any think major i.e exhaust air filter etc iv got orginal snorkle and bike was running fine before i left it for 7 weeks

chronik17 · DTR Member
