I know there have been a few posts about this. Since they were a few years old I wanted to start a new one.
While riding my bike to work about a 45min ride and all is fine the problem was the ride home. The ride home takes about 1hr.
With today reaching a high of 90 I hit some traffic 45min into the commute. The bike ran fine no problems and the temp was 221. I decided to take the local roads with more lights.
My bike began to loose power and started to have a weird firing sound. The bike began to surge and eventually the idle rpm would slowly drop from 1100 to 500 and then oil light comes on and engine stalls Engine temp 214-218
I cant start the bike again I have to pull off to the side of the road for a couple of minutes and let the bike cool down. Eventually I am able to start up but this continues for the rest of the ride. I had to stop easily 10+ times
I have an 03 Z1000 with just under 10K miles
PC3 custom map - K&N with Air Box Mod - IXIL slip ons - I changes the coolant to Distilled water & Water wetter 50/50 Mix
I have read a few posts about people needing to change the plugs. I have yet to pull the plugs to check. I was wondering if anyone has had similar problems and possibly any ideas where to start looking.
The stalling seems to happen when the bike temp gets to the 200+
