So i built this bike a month ago and its been a bit of a struggle but up until a few days ago its been running great.
Setup: 2002 900SS injected 9,100mi. Pod filters, 2-1 shorty looking muffler dumped by the swingarm, powercommander 3, flashed with the K&N, no air box, remus slipons nothing tuned on top of that yet.
I know the pods and realitivly straight pipes are frowned upon, but this has been running great and this issue crept up.
Now I bought it and the fuel filter was clogged, fuel pump had crap in it. was running at 31psi when that was all discovered becasue it ran poorly. I replaced the pump, mounted a fuel filter externally, blew out the lines and replaced the in tank lines. I did not take the injectors off or the "fuel rail" yet. Fuel tank filler/neck has the typical leaky problem I need to address. BUT, I when I washed it I kept that dry and it hasnt been in rain, only morning dew forming, COULD get in there but I doubt it.
The problem. It starts like it always has. Ride away in the morning to work just fine, no bog idle to redline. Low load 20% throttle has a stumble (needs some PC tuning still) but under heavy throttle it runs great, plug is light tan. I ride 10 mins on a highway at 65 steady, get to a toll, stop, boot it and get to the thruway and ride that for 30 mins steady at 6k or so. Booting it here and there to pass, backing off to slow down, no problems. Get through that toll, go to pull away and it bogs like its out of gas under load and decent throttle. very light throttle or idle and its fine and smooth. I do notice some hickups coughing through the TB and the filter when it bogs down here and there. Its so bad I cant hardly make it up a hill. BUT, the odd part is I will boot it while its doing this and it will accelerate 100% fine, then it comes back out of nowhere a second, a minute, or a mile later. Its like off and on. I can ride around off the highway using different throttle positions durring the ride and it doesnt do this. It just seems to do it after a stretch of highway riding.
Plugs have a small brownish spot off the side of the insulator below the electrode off to one side, rest of it is clean and the electrode looks decent, not perfect tan but decent.
thats all I got sofar... any ideas?
