just curious. will a too long of idling to warm have this effect?
No, according to all of the information I have gotten, as long as you get on and ride that will not hurt. It's the starting and turning off and not riding that will be bad for the plugs. This is true with all fuel injected bikes.
TSB's have been done. Fuel preasure checked, MAP sensor and O2 sensors have been changed. The only thing that has helped is the dealer put in a K&N air filter. The tips of the plugs changed but the rest of the plug remains black. I eaven had a dyno pull performed to check the AFR, it starts out ok but goes one full point rich, down to 13.7. The bike put out so much black smoke the other mech. wanted to know when victory had come out with a diesel bike. Even when driving, when you turn on the throttle the bike will blow out black smoke.
I have called other dealers (the closest 125 mi away) and they will accept the bike but they again they will have to work with the factory. If the factory will not give any assistance to the dealer I,m working with now, why would they help with a new dealer?
I can cure the problem with aftermarket electronic parts that will change the signal from the ECM to the fuel injectors, $600 out of my pocket. The dealer said I could try the stage 1 exhaust kit. But will that fix the problem? That is a $1,000 try that may or may not work.
The problem is not the dealer, BUT THE FACTORY!!!
