Fin170703 Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Evening all I've recently purchased a gsx550e and I've ran into a couple issues already (didn't expect plain sailing with an old girl like this) The guy I bought it from said it had been jetted and I'm wondering if it's been set up right! In first gear, under hard acceleration, at around 2-3 thousand revs (guessing as has no counter) the engine dips and then goes off again.... almost as if I was dipping the clutch to try and wheelie... could poor jet set up give this sort of issue ? On start up from cold its quite smokey (white) but soon clears off and it's a bitch for flooding when cold.... wondering if I need to get someone to have a good look or if I'm just being over critical of an old bike ! I think it's a good un on the whole but a few things are annoying me... gearing seems to be all to f*ck as it maxes out at around 80 !!! I've probably bought a nail Edited March 13, 2017 by Fin170703 Quote Link to comment
