Curvy's+Tank Spacers+Cool/Damp Weather = Ropey Running
Hmmm. Fitted tank spacers to me motaa, and scraped off the undertank foam.
It now runs poorly at high (8k+) RPM's in cool or damp weather. Could the tank spacers have caused it to run lean? Anyone else had to Re-Jet for this mod? Its running a standard Air filter, and a road legal (fixed baffle) can. What are other's experiences with tank spacers? Dan. |

It could just be running lean, I suppose... I've had absolutely no running issues with the spacers and Race RS filter, riding in all sorts, but it's not impossible that it's just that.

Best I have a fiddle and experiment this weekend. I'm not ruling out the possibility I could have disturbed something whilst fitting them, but I'm usually very meticulous checking that nothing has been disturbed etc. Spose it could be a fuel line nipped also.
Investigation for this weekend anyways. Dan. |
