Morning. Not had chance to do any of the suggestions as been away on holiday in Canada last couple of weeks, wall to wall Harley’s out there. K2-K6, could I run it without the filter for 20 miles to test or is that too long? The problem only seems to happen when the engine is hot.

Thanks Northy. I checked my plugs last night and when compared to the photos in the manual looked like might be running rich. So for the price of a new filter I think it will be worth trying.

Is adjusting the air screws an easy job to do? Or is it best left to someone who knows what they are doing? ( not me 😀)

Thanks Julie. I normally get petrol from my local Shell garage in Sandhurst. When you say STP is that the same as Redex? I have just put another shot of Redex in, hopefully that will sort it. Seems odd why it only happens at low revs ?

Hi Julie. It’s not always been like it, just the last 6 weeks or so. Not touched anything on it but only does it when the engine is hot.

Morning. Been having trouble with my 440/4 recently. Starts nicely and ticks over fine( although maybe a bit fast) but it’s very hesitant to rev below 3,000 rpm. Makes pulling away from the lights or riding in slow traffic a pain. Runs nicely otherwise. Problem only occurs when hot. Any ideas what the problem might be ? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Julie. Ive left a message for a mechanic to call me back. He has been recommended to me by SteveD so hopefully he will be able to help me.

Thanks Julie. Now you mention it there’s some oil near the kick start as well. I think I need to find a mechanic to have a good look at it as I’m not a mechanic by a long shot. Thanks for your advice Julie.

Hi Julie. I think there’s a slight leak between cylinder and cylinder head also the rocker spindle cap and some of the oil sump pan bolts. Would that be enough to lose so much oil?

There’s a slight leak on the fins. Maybe I need to get my wife to follow me again and I’ll give it some welly to see if it smokes. Do you think it would be worth me putting some more Redex down the bores? Have done it once would there be any benefit to doing it again?

Hi Bryanj. It doesn’t smoke on start up and my wife has followed me in the car and she says she couldn’t see any smoke.

That’s interesting Julie. Hadn’t thought about that. Steve I’ve been into Hatfield’s a couple of times but they said that they would do MOT’s but that was about it as my bike was too old! Maybe I’ll try them again. Chris.

Afternoon. My 400/4 is still using a lot of oil. 1/2 a litre in about 200 miles. Have tried putting Redex down the bores. Is there anything else I could try or is it time to get a mechanic to have a look for me? Is there a mechanic that anyone could recommend local to me? I live in Crowthorne Berkshire.
