i have a race kit and my bike been popping when let off the gas.i dynoed the bike and the tech said my bike was running to lean. the number he gave me where 14 to 1 to 16 to 1 what does the mean?what do you guys think? | ||

Alex are you using the race ECM that is supplied with the Buell Race Kit?? If yes you shouldn't be running lean. Your Dyno tech that told you this should have checked your intake for a leak. If you are not running the race ECM then you need it and that is why your bike is running lean. But first check for a intake leak first. | ||

If you installed the race kit be sure you did not mix the ECMs up and ended up reinstalling the stock ECM. It has happened before. | ||

i have the race ecm. what do you mean by a leak in my intake. like under the air cleaner. | ||
| Alexfiggy |
how do you find the leak what kind of test can i do ? | ||

You should be able to spray some carb/Injector cleaner around the intake near the cylinders. Maybe someone else will check in tho. Not sure if this will harm the EFI on the bike in any way. It works on carbed bikes and all cages too. | ||

Sorry Alex,Jersydevil is right. Start the bike up....warmed up and spray around the intake gasket area's. If it stumbles off idle you got a leak. You can also use WD-40 does the same thing. | ||

ok so i need to remove air box assembly to get to the intake then spray wd-40 around there when the bike is running and at warmed up temp then if there is leak the bike should stumble | ||

Yep!!! Is your bike still under warranty??? The reason I ask is did your dealer install the kit?? If they did they should know that it shouldn't be running lean with the kit properly installed. I'd speak to them and find out what they can do for you before you try to remedy this yourself. If your bike is off warranty then try the WD-40 around the gasket area's. | ||

Alex, If ya remove the air box gear make sure when ya spray nothing is close to the intake horn as that wd. give ya a false test.Just make sure ya spray close to & around the intake manifold & heads only... |
