Its ILL - and its the ECM

I agree. But what on earth is that red coating. I have seen orange(rust color) but never red. If it's not the fuel, what could it be.?

Fuel additives can do some strange things as far as plug color.

Hobbit · Nov 4th, 2009, 06:44 PM

no additives inless it already in there but was not picked up when they replaced the plugs 250 miles ago??

i heard once on a car the ecm went bad then that fried the coil but prior to that i was told the ecm was telling the coil to over fire... just something to think about

well dealer called motor thankfully is not cooked - see stock heat is good for summat it hardens the motor up LOL
if the ECM does not fix the issue - its on the dyno the minute its fixed they have said they will replace all the sensors the ECM takes readings from.

on a lighter note its having the Oil cooler installed that should have been done months ago

and the shorts are coming off as they are ruining the rear wheel to radius pipes in black

Hobbit,
Sounds like a plan. ECM & sensors should cover it but it sounds like "Deep Pockets" time for sure.
I would be shaking in my boots to see that bill.

Hoop!

Hobbit · Nov 5th, 2009, 01:48 PM

all im paying for Hoop is the pipe and cooler the rest inc the labour is covered under warranty

Hoople · Nov 5th, 2009, 01:50 PM

Awesome! I was worried. I would have had to get a second job just to pay for it.

I do have to admit HD is a GREAT company when it comes to warranty. I have a Ford Mustang and if the part is over $50 they have to send pictures and get approval from the Ford Plant. If the plant says NO, you won't get it fixed. Ford is Terrible & I won't ever buy another.

LOL remember the bike is not even 18months old

Hobbit · Nov 13th, 2009, 03:03 PM

well its back and running strong and smooth not lugging and open the tap and it picks up and goes, i thought i was going well and decided to kick into 5th at 90 and OMG it was into 4th and it was still accelerating, no back firing on decel, its a bit fat at the bottom end but nothing a run on the magic road cant fix

oh and the 2-2 big radius in black look and sound awesome - piccy to follow
