'06 600 Bogging at 1/4 throttle
So another adventure along the way of attempting to resurrect this 2006 GSX-R600 the Missus grabbed off Craigslist for a very low price.
First was a blown freeze plug and water in the oil and oil in the water. I made some progress there, hoping that issue is under control.
So I rode it just now with new oil and filter installed and I now I get a serious bogging of the engine at exactly the same place in the throttle position, about 20-25% open. It's not related to revs or road speed- it's an exact point in the throttle operation where it suddenly goes "blaggghh" and stops gaining much speed.
I don't think it did that previously, although my riding is confined to a few hundred yards with the oil contamination issue, just going down the street to warm up the oil and agitate the contamination to drain it.
During all the other to-do's, it just showed a C49 code now, the PAIR valve. I have a sneaking suspicion that while dismantling things to get inside the valve cover, I pulled a wire out of the connector.
Also, the previous owner disconnected the PAIR piping, I do believe. The hose that departs the valve towards the rear of the engine simply goes nowhere. It just lays there, open on the further end.
My forum searches aren't producing quite the right set of circumstances.
If this was carburetors, I'd swear the needle and/or main jet was clogged.
(Edited to add- that wayward hose from the PAIR valve, I belatedly discovered, goes to a nipple on the underside of the airbox. Don't know if it was like that before or if I just plain missed it.)
