My K5 was running OK until today . It had been stood up over the winter and the battery had to be charged about a week ago as it had gone flat. But the bike was running OK after that. Today I took it out and was running OK , I then took it up to about 12000RPM before I had only been going up to about 7000 RPM. Now it runs uneven and has lost power below about 6000RPM but seems to go OK above this. Any ideas

If the bike was stored the fuel could be stale, use some fuel stabilizer or drain and refill. Check the spark plugs to see if they have fueled up because of the stale fuel.

Possibly you need to recharge your battery. if you set it on the bear floor, it has a tendency to draw down the charge in the battery. It also will loose the charge if it was low wneh you retired it for the winter.
when your motorcyle has been stood for a while like over winter..keep the battery charged up. if its got carbs..run them out of petrol befor storeing. has petrol goes off in the carbs & gums them up. whitch then when you come to use the bike you need to strip the carbs & clean the float bowls & clean the jets out..has with a lot of problems i have seen on here when bikes have been stood they wont rev or even start because the petrol carnt get threw...if the bikes been stood a long time you need fresh petrol anyway as it goes off!!...
Check the see what the voltage is at the battery with the engine running. You should see around 14 volts.
If you see charging voltage than I would check the electrical system for draws. This needs to be done with a volt meter capable of reading amperage. If you have one and are familiar with how Ito use it I can explain the process.
if the headlight dies right out when you crank the motor then the battery is usually dead. It may read on a voltmeter that it has 12 volts but that does not necessarily mean the battery is charged.Have the battery checked and charged properly then try and start the bike again.Regards
you car computer needs to be checked. if the altenator was put in without unhooking the battery this could have fried your computer. for futher help and assistance please call 419 689 1114 for futher assistance i will be more then happy to help
hi might be able to help,if the bike has been stood for a while and the battery is flat,you will need to either slow charge the battery(if it will accept a charge) or replace it,jumping the battery will only give the battery a surface charge and will not be adequate to run all of your electronics effectively,this may be why the engine management light is staying in,hope this helps..cheers
You mite have an ignition module problem but it sounds like your fuel pump is not working. Have some one turn the ignition on as you listen for the pump switching on
Either you have a dead short in your wireing or your battery is not charging fully. Use a volt meter your battery will have 12 volts start the bike and it should read 13 plus then take it up to 2000 rpm above idle anyway it should read 14 plus. If you dont have these numbers then you have a stator or regulator problem or both. You may be geting a slight charge when running but not enough to keep the battery peaked out.
