Hello All
I have a 2012 NC700X that I use everyday (except extreme weathers). I have looked after it as best as I can. I try to resolve all issues as they arise but this week I have encountered a problem that I cannot solve.
I was taking my regular commute to work (about 13 miles) when I there was a drop off in speed and power. I was travelling at about 60mph and the bike slowly dropped off to 50mph. I pulled over and looked for anything obvious. Nothing jumped out as obvious. So I attempted to set off on my way.
Unfortunately, when setting off the bike had lost a lot more power now and struggled getting above 30mph.
The bike seemed to lose all torque.
I had to get recovered and my bike has been in my garage since.
I have been trying to investigate various things. I have checked and replaced the spark plugs but no change. I even went back to the old plugs and it is still the same. I have checked the battery and it is great (not very old). I have stripped all the plastics off to get to and test the ignition coils. The resistances I am getting on the primary and secondary side of each are identical.
I have spark test device and when I plug that into the spark plug lead and fire it up I have a strong/long spark across it.
When I start the bike it starts fine. Before it starts I hear the fuel pump prime. It appears to rev fine and steady. I put it into first and it still sounds fine. When I attempt to pull off the bike makes all the right noises but pulls off at a snails pace with no torque. It won't even ride up my very shallow ramp into my garage.
I don't want to just throw money at it, mainly because I cannot afford to do that.
I am swaying towards a fuelling issue. Something like a fuel pump/filter or injectors. I am not getting any fault indications on the dash/clocks though.
I wanted to ask you lovely people on here if anyone has experienced a similar issue and if so, how they rectified it.
Thank you in advance.
