Yamaha TTR inconsistent power delivery, what’s wrong?

March 29, 2012 / / 0 Comments

Question by LaoWaiSuomi: Yamaha TTR inconsistent power delivery, what’s wrong?
I have a ’99 Yamaha TTR Raid here in China. I am living at a high elevation, and I just shipped the bike to a buddy at sea level. Since he got the bike, he has changed the fuel filter, oil and cleaned the air filter, but he says it is constantly backfiring, and stalls out on idle at times. Also, when cruising, the bike will get inconsistent with power delivery (on and off in small surges) Any help? Thanks!

Answer by Firestormer
The bike is running too lean due to being tuned to run at high altitude. Much the same as a pilot leans out an engine in a light plane.

Your friend will have to adjust the air/mixture screw and possibly increase the main jet size.

Question by Notyme4BS: Is the a real possibility of the U.S. having a traditional non-nuclear war with a major military power?
Wouldn’t technology make it extremely difficult to even get military assets to a foreign power, or vice versa?

For example, can’t navy ships be sunk by cruise missles while they’re thousands of miles away. Can’t major powers see where our ships & planes are with satelite & vice versa. How would we land troops in Russia or China for an invasion?

Non-nuclear doesn’t mean non-technological. We could have wars without nuclear energy or weapons, if the possibility ever arose. But if we didn’t have technology, how did the war begin in the first place?

And if we can’t go to them, how can they come to us?
