2000 Katana 600cc bone stock 5800 miles: I got the carbs cleaned and full tune up, oil and filter last week, so the bikes been running smooth since then. Although recently, I put in Shell 93 Octane about 3 days ago. Twice actually. Last time was yesterday but a different station.
The bike runs fine for awhile, but every now and then, the bike starts tp slow down after 60 - -80 mph in 6th gear, and then sputter till 45. It stays around 45 even if I down shift to try to pick up speed, then if I slow down and go to first it cuts off and I got to rev the hell out of it to get it to start up.
Took it back to the shop and the guy suggested it was bad gas and even test rode it for a few minutes. Of course the problem didnt kick in when he rode it, but sure enouhg later on that day it happened again.
How long if this is bad gas, will it take to flush it out of the system, or do I have to reclean the carbs now?
Or is it something else maybe they did something wrong?
