Glider, if it had a intake leak wouldn't the idle high not low, my 04 had a intake leak and was idling at 3000 RPM or are the new ones( 06 up ) with the 02 sensers adjust to the air/fuel mix. Would the 02 senser adjust for a lean condition?

Re: Idle Air Control

hello all well i got carb cleaner and real carefully sprayed around the intake and the bike did raise in idle just enough that i can do it on command. I watched out for the K&N filter not to get any spray in it. So i called the ESP and it should be covered so back to the dealer it went now just waiting for the call back. thanks rich.

Well they called back and said my problem on the rough idle was a hole in the fuel line in the tank. they have to order one. well i thought i would have some hissing sound but what i cant figure out the tank was full when i have this problem. i believe it some thing else but ESP is paying for it. talk to ya later rich.

Re: Idle Air Control

You wouldn't hear any hissing sound if the tank was full. Generally when the tank gets below half, you would hear it then.
