Hi Guys -
Does anybody out there have some fairly definitive answers on the 'running lean' condition on the 1198's that you read so much about?
Is this condition all the way through the rev range in all conditions, or is it only prevelent under certain circumstances (ie idling down etc).
I know that one of the solutions is to buy an aftermarket exhaust/ecu (termi etc) - but this seems to be a rather expensive solution to fixing a problem that should otherwise be repairable.
1) Is this problem repairable by dealer's adjusting the ECU/mixture at the first service?
2) Is this condition damaging to the bike?
I find it somewhat stupid having to drop serious coin on a termi exhaust (to be honest, OEM power/sound is enough for me) to fix a condition that is dangerous to the long-term life of the engine.
I would really apperciate feedback from anybody out there with real experience (rather than anecdotal) on this subject.
Many thanks.
