Author Message   Jdodd Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 08:38 pm:        Started investigating the lean condition my x1 was exhibiting. Popping on decel, stumble, light tan plugs, fairly typical lean indicators. So I pull off the airbox cover, and discover that the PO had left what appears to be a small 18x18 inch square baby spitup blanket in there behind the filter box. 0_o So I pull that out, button the bike back up, and no more lean symptoms. I've found all kinds of weirdness in bikes from previous owners, this is a first for me.   Sanders Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 08:47 pm:        Good thing it didn't get sucked in and shut the engine down. Something like that would make your brown eye pucker with a quickness...   Jdodd Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 08:56 pm:        I can't for the life of me figure out what he was thinking. I left him an email, I wonder if his wife's been looking for that blankie? Yeah Sanders, I completely agree with that puckerage assessment. Not good.   Gmaan03 Posted on Thursday, July 07, 2011 - 10:38 pm:        LOL great! let us know when you get an explanation.   Jkgonzo Posted on Friday, July 08, 2011 - 01:16 am:        Sounds to me like he was sopping up the puke coming out of the head breathers so it didn't drip out onto the header.......   Natexlh1000 Posted on Friday, July 08, 2011 - 07:22 am:        Yep! That'll fix 'er! Admittedly, The original setup that came with my forcewinder seemed to be DELIBERATELY aimed at condensing water out, collecting it into tablespoon-sized servings and hoarking it out onto my right shoe.   Jdodd Posted on Saturday, July 09, 2011 - 12:40 pm:        PO says he was trying to stop the blowby from dripping down on the headers. Jkgonzo pick up your winnings at the convenience window!
