Hi All,
Apologies if this is somewhere in the myriad of posts, but here goes...
Having some issues with the 1988 K75, ~53k miles...
Initially the bike would run pretty good for the short rides I would do (less than an hour). Then went out on a longer ride and after a couple hours it started to sputter/hesitate/miss low rpm up to about 3500 rpm then it would run ok above 3500. Thought maybe bad gas, but...
This weekend I went on a ride to Oshkosh and same thing, after about an hour of riding. Except this time it got worse. Sputter/hesitate/miss through all RPM. It very gradually would increase speed and once up to speed it would hold it, but still sputter/hesitate/miss, no good acceleration, occasional bursts of power for a second where it seems like it wants to go, then more sputter...
Today it started the same thing after about only 5 mins of riding.
Any ideas or questions to help troubleshoot?
Thanks!
