KZ1000P-9 Running Rough in Damp Weather
27 May 2015 12:12
Hi Everyone.
My KZP is running great in dry conditions, but when it's damp outside, it runs as rough as hell (as if it's only firing on 2 pots). At the same time, the rev counter goes haywire?
I've checked all of the electrical connections, covered/taped what I can and waxed what I can't, but it's made no difference.
Has anyone else had a similar problem?
Wayne.

Have you checked you spark plug leads?

Hi Steve.
Yeah, I've changed the plug leads & caps. Done all the obvious stuff.
Not sure if it's shorting when it's damp, as it affects the rev counter & loses power?

Moisture is getting in somewhere. How about the battery cables. If one is sulfated, it could act like that.
