PLUGS PLUGS PLUGS. Every one of them was fouled.
Drained my tank, emptied my lines, replaced my plugs, and it runs better than before. Thanks for all your help. Sea Foam apparently really does belong in the sea, who knew advance auto carried products for large salty bodies of water?

Oh if i only had it to do over man. Thats a coulda woulda shoulda situation right there. Lesson learned about impulse purchases. Your bike looks like it would run like a champ, and I shoulda went ahead and jumped on your offer. My bad..... all dam day.

I'm landlocked. But I do feel as tho the sea calls to me. I can even hear it inside those big shells you put your ear to. Can you still ride if you live in the sea? And if you have a bike built for the sea, then can you use the sea foam?
I have over a half a can left. Ya want it?

I've been through all this but with carbs so totally different. A quarter of a can is too much, read the bottle. I've filled my tank up 8 times on the same bottle. Letting it sit really didn't help. You gotta run the **** out of that thing after you do it. Too much seafoam can also foul the plugs.

if you're not a mechanic just take it to one. i'm tired of reading all these threads on broken bikes when people never want to listen to advice. they just want internet classes on being a mechanic then get pissed when they can't fix it. take it to a shop and be done with it.

Damn i'm good now only if I knew how to use my rear brake i'd be a stunt pimp that could fix a bike Ha!Ha!Ha! will a handbrake help me do slow wheelies i want to go slower than 140MPH it's so hard to turn into a circle and stall at that speed!!!!!!!!

Send me some of your extra cash or those magical free labor coupons and I'd be glad to. Until i get'em tho I'm gonna save the 50-70 dollars an hour labor charges that bike shops charge to tune this two wheeled glorified lawn mower I ride wheelies on and just do it myself. Thanks for the worthy inputs. Bike's runnin good.

Advance, as in the auto parts store? First lesson of about turning wrenches on cars/bikes is NEVER listen to a parts counter monkey

Side note, how big is Johnson City? I picked up a 600RR there two years ago and it seemed like a tiny tiny town. Recently I've shipped a few bike parts there and now I notice you live there. Did I just miss the whole town when I was there or something? ...small world

Hobie

It didn't start that way, but don't you think they are fouled after the seafoam treatment/letting it sit in there for awhile?

EDIT - just read post 22, never mind

Fouled plugs won't trip an FI code.....

One flash (which is what he said it was) is faulty MAP sensor and/or connections.

Sea foam no doubt fouled the plugs.... but there was a problem b4 the sea foam....

So i stand by my original statement..... It aint the plugs!!!
