Thats what i have been thinking the bike won t rev at all but if i disconnect the tps cable to the throttle body the bike mis fires but will rev up after a lot of popping and banging i dont have the lead to plug in so i am just guessing to what the problem is

Thought the problem was fixed but its come back after changing the throttle body the bike ran fine rode it round the garden it was back to normal put the bike away tried it again in the week again only round the garden and it was fine started it today and the problems back ticks over but when i touch the throttle it dies as if its running out of fuel.any one have any ideas please.

All fixed needed a new throttle body with tps ,the tps was already set from the factory so just bolted on and started second kick I did clean the the old TPS but still had problems so it must have failed great service from Ossa uk Nigel Birkket rung him friday and got the new throttle body this morning top service.

Yeah think i will give it a go

Ok great will check the hose in the morning another thing i notice was when i took the injector out it was clean there is usally some oil on it also the top of the piston was dry as well as the spark plug even though i had the bike ticking over for a whlie.when the bike was started no smoke came out the exhaust .I know the fuel is getting the the injector but not from the injector to cylinder it almost like the bike has gone into limp home mode

Thats it looks great fun thanks

This might sound like a stupid question i am seeing more and more twinshock bikes with what looks like a honda or pit bike engine these bikes use the frame as a fuel tank are they hime made specials or can you buy they ,they look light a fun to ride.

Just changed the fuel pump and its still the same will ring Birkett in the morning

Had the tps reset a few months ago i dont have access to the cable tried 2 new plug still the same the bike starts first kick and ticks over fine is sound like a fuel issue ,put new fuel i think the fuel pump may have gone i changed the fuel filter 5 rides ago but left the fuel pump as the bike was running fine its a pain in the back side to change the pump

Having a few problems with the ossa the bike started misfiring as if i was running out of fuel so i changed the plug and it made no difference the bike starts first kick and ticks over fine when you open the throttle it dies as if it not getting any fuel the fuel filter has been changed about 5 rides ago checked all the connections are fine .Hope its not the fuel pump anyone else had this problem

Thanks Peter B

Thanks i will give them a ring in the morning

Does any one know where i can get a new clutch in the uk every where seams to have sold out the clutch is slipping quite bad and i need a new one for Wednesday i know its a big ask cheers

Just keep an eye on the lipo if it swells bin it,you can buy the same battery in a protective case they are more money but does stop the battery being damaged if a cell is puntured it will start to smoke and catch fire.hope it all goes well keep us posted

Only problem is lipos can explode or swell up if the battery is drained below a certain voltage l raced modle cars for years using lipos and they must be balance charge and in a fire proof bag .the battery must never be aloud to go flat,modle cars have a low voltage cut off to prevent the battery from being damaged or worst catching fire ,they produce much more power than a normal battery

What does he think of it compared to the ossa saw one for the first time last week and it looked good

It does not take long to do but does need a lot of packing good luck

If the compression on the shock is set to low the silencer will hit the swinging arm or tyre will rub on big landing ,they are easy to repair with new carbon fiber,just add a couple of click on the compression and you should be ok.

You are not going to like my answer but re packing it does not make it much sound much better ,it is loud compared to the standard system once apart you will find the packing is ok but there will be some mesh and steel wool wrapped around the baffle this will be blocked up with carbon,just clean in petrol ,its the only thing I dont like about the bike is that it is loud ,no pics sorry take it apart and give it a go,when I did mine it sounded the same but had a lot more bottom end power.

Yes done mine a few time easy job just drill all the rivets out including the tail pipe rivets,un bolt the inlet side of the silencer and remove the packing ,it should have some packing and steel wool .Either clean the steel wool and re use it or just use packing,I used a mixture of flat packing and the loose wool type once apart you will see what I mean.Dont put too much packing in otherwise it will be hard the put the cover back on.

Cheers i will give them a try thank you

Yes thats what i am thinking still plenty off life left in my bike hope they get going soon,the vertigo seem heavy if the figure is true of 69kg,once you have had FI there is no going back.

Great looking bike how does he like it compared to a carb bike ,fancy a vertigo next but just cant part with my ossa just love the bike
