Carbureted bike has a "hole" at about 50% throttle.


Hey guys!So I own a 2005 Suzuki Bandit 650 (carbureted) and I've noticed that between about 50% and 75% throttle it feels like it's "drowning".It stutters a little bit and has trouble accelerating for a few seconds, then once it gains a few k RPM it accelerates again.This seems to mainly happen between 4.5 and 6 k RPM.It's not a terrible problem per se, but yesterday I had a pillion and went to overtake a car and I couldn't do it because of this issue. Had to get back into my lane as a car was approaching the other way, so this could be dangerous.Any insight would be appreciated! via /r/motorcycles https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/comments/eawfpx/carbureted_bike_has_a_hole_at_about_50_throttle/?utm_source=ifttt
