Hello,
I'm experiencing the following symptom on my 91 katana 750 (53k miles):
Under heavy acceleration at the higher end of the rpm the bike jerks as if something disengages and engages momentarily. I haven't been able to recreate this problem in 6th gear.
Here's a little history about the bike:
I'm the original owner of the bike and maintained it well. The bike was in storage a couple of years ago, once out of storage we noticed that it was home to rats . We discovered that the rats chewed on the signal generator wires. I attempted to reattach the wires but since it was such a tight area not sure if the wires were reattached properly. Nevertheless the bike seemed to start and run ok except for the jerking problem. If I ride the bike gently the problem does not occur.
I'm wondering if the problem has to do with the signal generator wiring. Another suspect in my mind is that I may have a worn clutch? BTW, the bike is 100% stock with 53k miles on it.
About a year ago I replaced the chain and the sprockets which did not resolve the issue.
Can anybody help me identify what's causing the issue? any help or clue will be greatly appreciated. Let me know if you need additional information.
thank you,
Carlo
