I had similar problems in my hyosung, few things I did: 1. Added an extra high strength wire direct from battery to rectifier... Which solved my charging issues. 2. Changed a ignition coil... One of the big culprits 3. Cleaned the ignition coil grounding points which were rusted. 4. The wiring bunch near the twin chassis which was rubbing against the chassis and one wire had cut and was grounding to the body and that was a green wire... Maybe it's the same wire which is discussed in this video. 5. Cleaned injectors using professional guys
Before IR thermometers were consumer goods we used our spray bottle of light dish detergent/water mix (for mounting tires) to spray each head pipe in turn while the engine was running. It shows weak/dead cylinders easily on single and dual wall exhaust pipes.
Easy fix. Pull the spark plugs out of another cylinder. If cylinder 2 isn't firing, pull the plug from cylinder 4. You can make a very inefficient 2 cylinder.
The temp sensor guns come in handy and are cheap enough. Got mine in Aldi and you can stand back and point the laser at the target. No need to get it up close.
Or you could just look to see which plug lead Matt has removed 😁 or you could pull off one plug lead at a time to find the cylinder that is not firing and diagnose problem from there could be a plug, plug lead fual starvation. coil or compression test for a valve or head gasket issue
I just use a spray bottle of water. If the header is firing it’ll evaporate instantly. If it’s not it’ll stay wet 🤷🏻♂️😂 so would replacing the spark plug sort this?
Very good audio. Just a couple of Qs if you don't mind. How did you make this video? Did you unplug a spark plug to make it run on three? And was your engine already warm before you revved it up to demonstrate the sound of 4?
"Did you unplug a spark plug to make it run on three?" - yes "And was your engine already warm before you revved it up to demonstrate the sound of 4?" - of course it was LOL
Helped none. Lol. Can your v twin have a bad coil if it takes revving the engine about 2k rpm to get them both going? I just dis my Yamaha plugs about 1000mi ago. I doubt it failed. When I road 2 weeks ago it was fine, let it sit since, fired it up and here we are. I put fuel treatment and octane, same result.
I use to pull the sparkplug cables. If it gets worse then it was a running cylinder and if nothing changes at all I know that this is the little fucking bastard that is not playing well with the others. That saves me from melting one after the other temperature jobby's ;) And I do not even need to go to my garage and can do that on the road on many bikes where you can reach the cables without removing a shit load of things to get there.
@@jayflash2035 I know I didn't say it, but I meant by hand. Ha! When I had that problem with my Valkyrie, after about a minute of ticking over, I could feel which pipe/cylinder was cold, and not doing its job.
Please support me my bike Yamaha xj600 seca after service and change plugs clean inline four Carburator but not work two cylinder (pistons) after service, SPARKPLUG working May be Carburator working why 2 cylinder not started any one know what problem please sujest me help me start for my bike thanks
Hey mate, Could you please help me out ? This is happening to my bike and I’m sort of clueless on what could be causing. I have recently replace the ecu and tps and did the calibration and now this is what’s happening .. It’s a Cfmoto 650nks 2015 model. I haven’t pulled the coil or spark plug to check. The fuel injectors I took it off and cleaned as well as new fuel pump and fuel filter recently. Do you think it could be the throttle body itself ? ruclips.net/user/shortsD5pfmFQpS2Y?si=-uiesUWuY3iOkBy4 Thanks in advance

Nice - will do this soon
Clear and to the point demo, I like it!
Good idea using that temperature gun.. Up until now I've just FLEGGED on the pipes to see which one is cool!!!
Yup did the same
This is a good and safe idea to find a misfiring cylinder.
Can you share how to fix the issue?
The old spit on the exhaust pipes is a good method as well.
I recommend using the temp sensor gun... I still have scars from checking without proper equipment
My Name's Dulboy welcome back to the shop
Easy fix. Pull the spark plugs out of another cylinder. If cylinder 2 isn't firing, pull the plug from cylinder 4.
You can make a very inefficient 2 cylinder.
Is the "spit on your finger" method considered too dangerous these days?
The temp sensor guns come in handy and are cheap enough. Got mine in Aldi and you can stand back and point the laser at the target. No need to get it up close.
Apart from if your piped are shiny and reflect infra red....
I always thought you just grabbed an exhaust header
when doing the demo you should ground the disconnected lead or you risk frying the CDI. (Spark gap limits the output high voltage.)
That's the upside of only having 1 cylinder, you know if theres a missfire because it wont start
Or you could just look to see which plug lead Matt has removed 😁 or you could pull off one plug lead at a time to find the cylinder that is not firing and diagnose problem from there could be a plug, plug lead fual starvation. coil or compression test for a valve or head gasket issue
This is quicker...........
Yes Matt it is I ment if you don't have the lazer temp gizmo
This video is really helpful! Thanks a lot

Dont use the laser temp probe, use the universal contact thermometer (aka tongue) we'll be able to tell the temp by your facial expression at contact.
l0l firing on 3 makes it burbble like an american v8 because of the uneven exhaust pulses
Had a problem with an engine that has Siamese intake ports. Hole in the manifold which was under a cover. Leaned out 3 and 4 and burnt a valve
Noob here, how do you fix the problem and looked thru your vids but not thoroughly and couldn't find the answer
That's a huge question...
@@thedirtyworkshop make a vid! Make a vid!😁
Would never work on a Ducati though! Mine's got two cylinders not firing.
What was the problem. Ive got the same problem

"Did you unplug a spark plug to make it run on three?"
- yes

Dude, that shirt.....whatever colors you want.....
Official Workshop Team Race Shirt.
Just do it
These companies don't do shirts like this - I'll have to dig deeper and find someone who will
The Workshop, I have a friend that does this stuff....but it is in the US so shipping might be a problem.
What bike is that in the video?
Yamaha XJ600
The Workshop thanks, looks nice!
hi sir, I have a honda cb 125T, also 2 cylinders. which one is cylinder 1?
thx in advance
Usual left as you sit on the bike, but you manual will confirm it
@@thedirtyworkshop thank you so much for the fast response
No worries dude
Please help my cbr1000rr 05 is making a disturbing nois
last time i just used my hand
How about not running on a single cylinder Matt?🤔🤔🤔🤔.......
Helped none. Lol. Can your v twin have a bad coil if it takes revving the engine about 2k rpm to get them both going? I just dis my Yamaha plugs about 1000mi ago. I doubt it failed. When I road 2 weeks ago it was fine, let it sit since, fired it up and here we are. I put fuel treatment and octane, same result.
So basically you're guessing... stop guessing. Working it out
Why not just use your tea stirer, that'll tell you which are hot
I use to pull the sparkplug cables.

It depends how accessable your plugs are. Hence why I did this on the XJ
Ja! that is what I mentioned at the end too...
Why not check the heat, from the pipes?
He did….

wtf didn't show anything helpful accept showed which one was misfiring I thought this was a fix video lol XD
screw the shit get a 1 cylinder suzuki bike DR big for all you transportation needs
But Matt just told us a bike running on 1 cylinder sounds like Shite!
😅I'm sorry but that 2nd to last name is FUNNY choked me up little bit.😥

What was the original issue?
sounds better when its running like shit to be honest
"Hot Butter Enema"?
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wtf?
I agree.sounds like shit
