Hi guys, first post on the forum, hope you can help
Bought a v low kms 2010 FZ1N about a month ago, my bike was running like a dream up until 2 days ago.
What started out as a tiny flat spot about 3k rpm turned very quickly into an an absolute nightmare of surging, spluttering, misfiring, hard to start, cutting out at idle, the biggest problems are between 3k and 4k where it runs like its having an epileptic fit, at higher revs it mostly rides fine, although I get occasional misses at 5-6k rpm.
I thought I might have gotten contaminated fuel out on a country ride, but there were about 10 riders who filled up at the same servo and they have not had any problems with their bikes.
I have done well over 600kms since that country town and filled up at least five times, including running the tank down to near empty, refueling and the problems persists.
I've only ever used premium fuel in it.
Mods (all fitted pre-purchase) - Scorpion aftermarket exhaust, K&N air filter, Power Commander V
I don't really know where to start here, I had a Honda Hornet 600 (599 in US) for years and it never EVER missed a beat. Very surprised and disappointed to be having engine problems within weeks of purchasing a practically new bike with only 1800kms on it....
