Getting his costume ready for Halloween? I hear he's going as a pirate. If he has a peg leg he'll need to counter steer....

I got the honor of the last post on his counter-steering thread before it was locked. Maybe he got the boot at the same time lol...

I don't think so. He posted once this morning in another thread and hasn't been online since. I'm thinking maybe one of the mods gave him an offer he couldn't refuse......

I have a bike and I am a rider. You can believe me or not believe me. If you do not want to share information, no problem.
Seriously, troll?? Tell me what I can do, anybody, put the laptop with this screen showing on my bike next to the PowerVision? Ask the members here who have ridden with me to chime in? How about the member who just bought my stock FXDLS wheels? God knows those are laying around everywhere. And yes, everybody knows about the stock map visibility. I am sure you found that info online by now

Troll!

Last week the temperature was about 85 or so. My bike ran terrific. It accelerated good, sounded good and handled good. I loved it. After the bike warmed up it ran really well.

A cold front came through on Friday.

Took my bike out yesterday. The bike ran poorly. It was sluggish, probably the knock sensor was activating and it did not sound good. It backfired a couple of times. After the bike warmed up it ran worse. I know the bike was running too lean.

I am thinking that the difference is the difference in the weather because that is the only thing that changed since the last time I rode the bike.

I would think that the EFI system could adjust to changes in weather.

I checked the trouble codes last night. I did have 2 ECM trouble codes. They were P0151 and P0131. Those are the codes for to low afr voltage for the front and rear cylinders. I am thinking they might have been generated when I got the backfires. But I really do not know.

How do I trouble shoot this?
I am leaning to fuel being the cause for this. I am posting this link so I can refer back to it at a later time.

All fuel in my area has ethanol(10%). The ethanol and gasoline will separate in the tank if allowed to sit, with the ethanol being heavier. The item of interest in this article is when they say to replace the gas in your fuel tank every 2-3 weeks to avoid alcohol and water related fuel problems.

This thread needs to die a quick tragic death.
