2000 zx12.
Over the weekend, I lifted the tank to get a look at the air filters they looked a little dirty. None of the dealers around had replacement ones, so I decided to rinse them.
Due to weather and work, I was only able to get back on the bike today. It starts up fine, but the first few miles in every gear, it's sputtering and has little power. When I get in the upper rpm range for the gear it kicks in with power.
But as I decel the sputtering returns.
Could I have ruined the filters OR is there a vacuum that 'normally' disconnects when you lift the tank?
Would like to have a general idea where to start when I tear back into it.
A little more info... I do have the muzzy pipe and running without PC. It had a slight hesitation when first taking off, but not this bad. Usually that was just in 1st gear, now it's happening in at least 1,2, 3 gears...
