I thought it was the bike problem, not the me problem

Been to see Att this afternoon and we've checked the fuel pressure , reset the tps and checked AFV as the bike sounded and smelled like it was running very rich, afv was at 142% possible from the old fuel pump running at low pressure. I'm thinking that it was that far out that before it got a chance to correct itself the bike was cutting out. So today we've reset the TPS , fitted new genuine plugs and reduced the AFV down to 120% which is the region that my Uly and my X1 always see to settle at. Throttle response was instantly better and the bike no longer smelt to be running rich. Not knowing what the bike normally runs at I thought it safer to set at 120 and let it relearn from there rather than to set at 100 which would have been 42% less fuel than it was at when we started. Just a case of waiting for Att to get a chance to roadtest it now

Seems to have gone well.

Kev is a gentleman and responded to my begging e mails, PM`s and written letters, it was terribly difficult to get him to come over

Nah, he is a diamond and the bike is running well again.

I have a special gift for him on Em`s day.

Just pleased to have been able to help mate and great to have a catch up as well, it will be interesting to see what the AFV has settled down to after it's done a few miles.

...Now on the hunt for a engine temperature sensor, the one that goes in the top of the rear pot.

If anyone knows of one or has one and wants to sell it, then please let me know.

Thanks.

I decided to look into getting a temp sensor on the web...Well, it is a part made from unobtainium it would seem.

So I made an enquiry with the ntl website, twinmotorcycles as it states that it is a POA part, so I sent off an enquiry, not expecting an answer until Wednesday, as that is when they are open again, but I had an email this morning from them and they want 225.00 Euro for this part, it is genuine part for the XB`s that you have to modify...So I thought about that and knowing how much they were, I was determined not to pay that for it.

USA place has one that is less than £100 delivered with duty etc.

I have ordered a sensor from Amazon for £30.00 delivered from the USA as a bit of an experiment.

However, before I did all this I removed the old sensor after grinding a portion of a 1/2 inch socket so that the cable could play freely...There was a bit of debris in the place that the sensor sits, so I blew that out with an airline, I checked the bullet connectors and the female seemed a bit loose No change there then. So I cleaned it all up, tightened up the female with a bit of pressure from some electrical thingy`s, plunged the male part in and then made sure it was a nice tight fit, it was lovely.

So a nice fitting sensor screwed back in place all nice and clean, well connected and put the tank back on, put some fuel in it ready for the usual test track this morning.

Beautiful, lovely, smoother than a oiled up whore in silk panties, so I am going to get the plugs out give them a good scrub and then take it for a long run to see if the fueling is right, it smells fine, but the colour of the plugs will tell me what I want to know better.

If it was just a loose bullet connector all this time, then I am going to inflict a serious physical injury upon myself.

TBC.....
