1996 F3

I have a 1996 f3 and it ran fine before I put a street fighter kit on it. Well,here is my issue. Once the kit got put on first gear is fine all the way threw once I shift to 2nd or 3rd it bogs out!!!! Please help. Want it back to the way it was before the kit was put on.

Thanks in advance.

Re: 1996 F3

Correct i mean headlight. Sorry before that post I was pissed off and stopped at the bar for a couple to many. Yes, after I put the headlight on I took it for a ride. First gear is 100% fine, 2nd, is good until about 40% throttle and then it bogs and 3rd it just bogs. So I hope I can fix this issue shortly because I want my bike back on the street!

Thanks again in advance and for the help.

Re: 1996 F3

That shouldnt do anything to the throttle... but i would check all your grounds and electrical to see if their loose... if not your carbs could be out of sink

Re: 1996 F3

Yes I did. there is no place for them to be.

If I have to leave them on where am I going to run them?

Re: 1996 F3

the two black hose force the extra fuel through the lines at high rpms.

thats your problem right there. mine did the same thing.

also make sure your light doesnt cover the intake, its right in the center under the triple.


the big thing is finding a spot to run the black hoses to where they dont get in the way and get the right amount of air. you can take apart the t connecter and run a single line. you do not have to run them both.l you just need enough air flow to push that extra gas through

Re: 1996 F3

its your intake......f3 was not designed to have that ram-air effect and when you take the stock front off it opens that up. more air + same fuel = bog. i still haven't fixed mine but i imagine a little plate an inch or 2 in front of the intake would solve the problem.

Re: 1996 F3

Well, I put one of the hoses back on and I'm good through 3rd. Once I hit fourth with barley any gas she bogs. I'm getting there. Any more inout would be great! Thanks.

Re: 1996 F3

Does anyone know if they will fit under the tank or is they're not enough room in there?
