2008 Daelim Roadwin; sudden drops in power

#1 Unread post by oli87 »

Hi there, I'm riding a 2008 Daelim Roadwin (single cylinder, 4 stroke, 125cc). I bought it second hand a couple of months ago with about 9000km on the clock. Anyway, in third gear, at about 6500rpm, the power drops suddenly for less than a second and then comes back as if nothing's happened. It doesn't always happen and it usually only happens when you're using a fairly consistent amount of throttle. I took it to the mechanic and he said not to worry about it (i suspect that means he has no earthly idea what's causing it or couldn't replicate it when he took it out for a go). That's all very well but sudden drops in power when going around a corner are not what you want on a motorbike! I should add that I live in a small town in Korea, don't speak Korean, and English speaking mechanics are not so easy to find. Any ideas would be much appreciated!
