Did You Clean Your Throttle Body?
I cleaned my throttle body yesterday with a spray can of Kleen Flo's Carb & Choke Cleaner. It took about 5minutes and made a big difference in the idle. Before I cleaned it it wouldn't idle at all until the bike warmed up for about 5 minutes,After cleaning I had to turn the idle down about 1 1/2 - 2 turns as it was revving quite high. Now when I start it the bike idles on its own right from the start. I was getting 39 mpg Cdn before the cleaning, Im hoping it goes up higher with this tank of fuel, as I used to get 42-44 mpg last season.I like it when something that simple makes a noticeable difference in the bikes performance.
