XT Tenere 3AJ Running issues
Please could I pick some brains. I'll try to give all the details.
My '89 3AJ as been faultless for over 10 years but this weekend has had some issues.
A full tank of fuel and after around 50miles I settle into a little duel carriageway riding. 50-60mph seems fine but getting closer to 70 to overtake or wind back the throttle for a hill and it starts to miss a little until I back it off a bit.
longer into the journey it seems to get worse. I can pull over and just about keep the revs going as not to cut out and after around 30 seconds it will happily tick over and I can set off again, sometimes it cuts out all together. then just left for a minute it will fire back up and run again.
It seems like riding A and B roads are fine but long drawn out duel carriage way/motorway riding causes this.
Last year during lockdown I serviced the bike, tank was already clean inside, new fuel lines and inline filters and checked the fuel pump (it looked fine inside)
I took the inline filters off for my return journey this weekend thinking they could have been causing some fuel starvation but didn't seem to change anything
Any ideas from you guys would be greatly appreciated
