Default Wierd problem...

This is hard to explain.. but on the way home today, i got on it after making a turn (full throttle through first, second, and third gear) then AFTER i let off, the seemed to be sluggish. It was like there was alot of resistance in the engine, it didnt rev freely, and i had to give it alot of throttle for very little change in rpm. After about 15 seconds, the problem was tottaly gone. What the hell happened? I think If i were to let the clutch in it would have definatly stalled. Any ideas? Thanks

I've heard people say their motor felt that way just before they spun a rod bearing. Hopefully your problem is something more trivial, but it might be worth checking the oil plug magnet for signs of metal.

AMF not reading well will do this. Could be on it s way out or the connector is not making good contact.
Feels like somebody stuffed socks in your intake!
