Paging TOG / Antonye

The 92 750SS has started running badly below 3000rpm - above that its
fine and is very nice indeed at over 5000 , but thats not always
possible in traffic.....
Its just been serviced but i'm guessing at shit in the carbs or
failing that a carb balance? Mondays rain didnt help but i'm gueesing
its not electrical as its rev related?

At the risk of provoking gales of laughter, check/change the plugs.

 

If it's just been serviced then you might want to find out
what they did that could have affected the running - did
they fiddle with the carbs/fuelling at all? If it has
had chance to dry out then I wouldn't think that water
was anything to do with it unless, as TOG says, it has
toasted your plugs.

 

I should have said it was by me - it was a couple of weeks ago and
i've done 600 miles since , so I dont think it is down to fuckwitiness
on my part.It was oil filter / air filter / plugs / belts / fuel
filter.
Fouled spark plugs sounds like it could be whats happening , i'll
check when I get home.
That you tube clip was brilliant for changing the belts by the way -
ta.Took less time to do that than it did to get the old oil filter
off.....

It is surprisingly quick to do once you know how! I'm glad
it's not just me that has problems with the oil filters.
I never do them up more than hand tight and once lockwired
in place they never tighten up either, but they're still
a PITA to remove. I now use K&N filters as the have a
(predrilled) nut on the end that makes both lockwiring
them and getting them off a whole lot easier.

 

This one was a right bastard - my removal tools succeeded in squishing
the filter to an ungrippable mass so I ended up tearing it apart ,
laying the bike on its side and drifting the remains out with a very
long screwdriver.Took me over an hour......

 

Heh, BTDTGTTS. I even paid £15 for an oil filter remover
from Halfrauds to make it easier, but it doesn't fit
because of the collar around the oil filter means it
can't get enough grip on the sides. I just end up whacking
a long screwdriver through and doing it that way.

 

I'll second that

 

URL????

 

I have a chain wrench which fits and does the job perfectly.

 

Found it now. It is good, yes.

I haven't found a filter that won't submit to my 1/2inch drive socket
chain wrench - assuming you can get enough clearance to use it.
