Hi
I was leading a small group ride the other week and a few of the riders told me they could smell my exhaust.
They surmised it was running rich.
I dropped into my local Adrenalin co-op (Great place - they can do the work for you for $C85 or you can do it yourself with their stands, tools, etc., for $C20 per hour or a combination of both). They noted that there was no obvious blackness around the exhaust.
I am going back next week to pull the tank off and clean the air filter.
The other suggestion was to have the ECU flashed incase the previous owner had played with it when there was a Power Commander III fitted. We removed that several years ago as I wasn't happy with the way it was handling. I am told the only place local is 2 Wheel DynoWorks. Unfortunately, that would be two (expensive) ferries and a motel as I live on Vancouver Island and Nels is in Kirkland, WA
The last few tanks of gas have averaged in the low 40’s imperial MPG (less than 200 miles max per tank) for only moderate running – no high speed or hard acceleration.
Anybody have any suggestions or ideas?
