Engine Issues

My bike has 12.5K on it. It's 8 months old. I've been doing the maintenance, oil, oil filter, air filter, plugs.......

Was told at the Gap that I was gassing the people behind me out. Changed plugs and checked gas mileage. Use to get 50 miles per gallon when taking it easy and keeping it under 70. Now I'm looking at 44 MPG. The bike has always smelled rich. What else could be going on

The bikes under warranty. If I take it in for a check up are they going to tell me normal wear and tear 12.5 K and charge me to adjust things

Have you synced the TBs?

 

[dadofthree]

No and I don't have the manometer or skillz, but would this be covered under warranty

44 MPG is very good. With PC and full exhaust.

Do you have a TRE?



Next question: Whats a TRE?
Answer: Timing Retard Eliminator
Dumb answer: It lets the bike go really really fast!

Bone Stock, still running OEN air and oil filters as well as plugs.

I would look at syncing the throttle bodies. Not sure if it will be covered under warranty, though.

Thanx, I'll ask before I take it.

My rides back 50 MPG all day today. I guess the computer learns slow. Change plugs and wait a thousand miles for your bike to come back to ya.
