Lemme start out by saying it sucks to have to trailer your bike home. Its a hard pill to swallow.
To start out:
2007 DL1000 Vee
New Iridium Plugs
New Air Filter
Baffles Drilled and Peashooters removed on the exhausts
10W40 Full Synthetic AMSOIL
Idles at ~900 rpm
22,000 Miles
Valves should be done SOON...
The Bike has been giving me problems in the 3500 - 3700 rpm range, and I've been putting off the TBS and TPS until my new Aux Tank arrives to be plumbed in. But its been doing the common stuff like popping and coughing and and I realize that those issues are common on the Vee and have been mitigating it by running at higher RPMs.
Well yesterday, enroute home after a days ride, stopped at my mechanic's shop to schedule a time to get my rear tire changed because I don't have the time to do it myself. And it was POURING rain. When I went to leave, I took it easy down the street until I got to the secondary highway.
The Bike would generate any power under 6K and sounded like a swollen bag of crap. It was idling rough and finally, I just pulled over, called Larry and got towed home.
When we arrived home, the bike started no problem but at idle, would tend to run a bit rough and cough slightly. I decided to let it dry for the night and will go out this afternoon and see how it runs.
I'm going to start by raising the idle and looking at the plugs and wires.
Any other suggestions besides the TBS and TPS?
