I have a engine miss that I can't figure out. It seems to be accross the entire RPM range, but the Dyno tune shows that my air/fuel ratio is within reason. Wondering if having "anti-seize" on the spark plug threads would cause an intermitant mis-ground. Anyone experience this before?
Thanks
Never experienced it before. I take it your bike isn't throwing a code. Unless you got the never seize down on the end of the plug, I don't think that would be the problem. Might try changing out the plugs. They are cheap so you wouldn't be out much. If that didn't solve the problem, then plug wires would be my next choice.
Two yrs ago I had a miss for several days.
After checking her out.
Ended up being the bolts on the battery wasn't tight.
Just had the 15k service done couple weeks before it started, and one of the checks is supposed to be tighten the battery bolts, Oppps they missed that one..
could be as simple as that.
Clean the cables and post, then re-tighten the bolts
