    Default Engine missing at revs

    hey all. just wondering if anyone could help me.

    i have a VN series 1. when i get up it it starts to break down. it gets to about 3000rpm and doesnt rev smoothly.

    ill be checking the crank angle sensor today, but i have replaced the coil pack and the DFI module looks good.

    any idea why it breaks down.

    thanks all

    Hey man

    I had the same problem after I changed my CAS, what it was is the CAS is adjustable and that can alter the timing. I adjusted the little white unit on the CAS one click and it made my car run mint

    An hairline crack in a spark plug can also cause the symptom you describe.
