"And this one is just right" ~ Goldilocks
Seems nothing with this bike is easy. Has anyone balanced the throttle bodies on this bike yet? I'm looking into the procedure and hitting some roadblocks. The steps are detailed on pages 146 - 148 of the manual.
You have to remove the tank to clear the Plenum to get to the throttle body adjustment screws. Of course you then need the bike running to make the adjustment and I've heard TuneECU has a place for this- if not, please let me know. So, back on with the tank.
The manual calls for two special tools. T3880001 to extend the fuel line ($287.53) and T3880123 to extend the electrical connection to the fuel tank/pump ($31.14).
But, on the Hermy's website for both parts it says these are not compatible with your bike. WTF?
The $$$ fuel line extension has a connection for a pressure gauge, which is not needed for this procedure- you just need the extension so you can get the tank out of the way. My question to the few who have pulled the tank, like @Tal, is this..... is that connection somewhat standard where you could make the part, if you just knew what to get?
@Tal did you save your broken line- with that in hand would you have any interest into seeing if this can be done?
Otherwise, it's off to the dealer for what should be an easy task.
I'm tempted to see if I can lift the tank enough, once remounted, to get to those adjustment screws, but that **** connection is fragile plastic and I'm afraid each time I remove it, much less putting a hard tug on it.
If anyone has some insight or ideas, please jump in.
