I just bought the Bike 1000DL 2003 about a month ago. Brought it back to Phoenix from Colorado and it has to get emmision tested here for me to get a plate.
You guest it it failed. Idle test is too high on CO. I now from the service records that came with the bike that it was remapped by a dealer for the low end stutters way back in like 04 or 05. I was thinking they just richen up the low end to smoothen it out.
So my thought was to Clean the throttle bodys and adjust everything up and put in a new set of plugs.. That is when it all went bad.
I could feel the front plug not wanting to come out from the first turn. Yes this is a familiar feel. So unscrew a little than back in a little and after a few cycles of this it is about half way out. Then it just wont go anymore. So I pull the radiator so I can get at it better, but yes it is just pulling the threads out with it, GRAP!:headbang:
Options: Helicoil, New head or heads?? will TL heads work? I was about to just JB it back in and go trade it in!
And after I get it back together I still have to take it in and get it dynoed to set the ecu up to pass emissions.
