F1 trouble

Post by craigus »

hi all, ive been having trouble with the bike lately ,first i was getting loss of power around the 7000rpm mark but this was only happening when the engine was warmed up & gets worse as the engine gets hotter ,so i changed the plugs & thought id check the wires to the coils ,they were a little loose & a bit green so i crimped them up a bit & sprayed them with WD40 . Now the F1 light comes on & has got about as much go as a honda clonk, does anyone know whats happening to my baby?

I recently had the same problem whilst on a trip to ireland. Whilst in the dry,Cutting out, dying, picking back up, dying, picking back up, no power, full power :shock: trying to overtake some old granny. One of my mechanically minded mates noticed that the oil was low and put about half a pint in the engine. Ran sweet as a nut since.
I have heard that honda make generators with a low oil level cut-out switch, maybe cagiva have done the same....dunno
