I got it running but it still has "issues". The lean backfire is gone now but the exhaust still smells rich. Maybe it's the way the stage-3 kit is...I dunno now but I will soon find out.
Also, I do not believe the exhaust headers are properly torqued down to the engine case? Should I be able to see a gap with space and also be able to see the bolts?
Also, what could be causing it to drop below 1000 rpm when I slow down to stop at a stoplight? I have to blip the throttle or hold it at 2000+ rpm to keep it from shutting off. :roll: I know it's something simple but I just don't know what. Then after I blip it it sits at 2000 rpm and won't go lower. If I adjust the idle screw/knob it drops down to 800 rpm and starts to fade out like it wants to shut off and has shut off a few times.
So the list goes:
1. Carb balance/synch & Tune
2. Exhaust check
3. Rear tire replaced
I have faith that the mechanic will get the bike closer to running right than I can. Even though when I ride it now it's a powerhouse, the whole "Cutting off when I slow down" and "Idle at 2000 rpm" just isn't right.
Man this bike is a rocket!!!
Can't wait to get it back! Imagine then!!! Wow.....Just wow.
This is gonna ROCK!!!
:P
