So I'm still trying to figure out what's wrong with the low end power on my 99 Honda CBR 600 F4. It's prone to stalling and doesn't generate enough power to pull away from a stop unless I add far too much gas and dance with the clutch.
The previous owner slapped a slip on and K&N air filter on there. The slip on makers claim that their product won't really change any performance issues on the bike except make it a lot louder and maybe add 2-3 HP on the top end (I don't really care about that...I hardly use the top end anyway).
Is it possible the filter is doing something like letting in air too easily at the low end? I'm not very well versed on how carbs work, but it seems possible that the pilot jet etc is set up to expect a certain amount of air but wouldn't be able to keep up with more. Maybe I'm crazy, but I'm thinking of shelling out some $ for the OEM air filter to see if that helps matters...worth a try?
