Hi everyone,
I'm just after some advice on where to start/what I should be looking for first with a bit of engine trouble I'm having.
I was riding my bike (1990 Suzuki VX800) to work the other day when I felt like I'd lost a bit of power. I pulled over straight away and put it into neutral. The engine seemed to idle exactly the same as it had done before, so I put it into first and slowly crept forward. When I did this it sounded rough, nothing extreme but I definitely noticed a difference. I put it back into neutral and opened the throttle a little bit, it was rough again but still idling okay.
At this point I turned it off and ended up getting it put on a tilt tray and dropped off where I work, and only yesterday did I manage to get it back home.
Any advice at all would be much appreciated. I've never pulled an engine apart before so if there is anything I should be keeping and eye out for, or if it sounds like an issue with something else it'd be a great help.
Cheers
