Hi Everyone
I’m an old guy who hasn’t ridden a bike for twenty years. I’ve bought a 2002 NT 650 specifically because they are a reliable, tamed and safe. This bikes been in storage for 12 years and looks absolutely mint, it’s done less than 4000 miles from new. Its had an oil and filter change and all the other levels are clean and good.
it starts first time and runs smooth on choke, but pops and bangs on no choke.
It only occasionally hits full power on both cylinders when on test.
I've had the tank off and cleaned it out, and changed the fuel.
The air filters clean, but you can see residue from the backfiring on one cylinder.
The needle floats were very dry and sticking, I lubed em and they are as smooth as silk now.
I test ran it and it’s just the same.
I’m going to fit two new plugs. But, can anyone who’s had a similar problem please point me in the right direction, I can’t wait to get touring, I love the bike.
Jim.
