Turbocharged
I have the stock intake and exhaust. Will I need to download a new tune if I remove the secondaries, keeping everything else stock?
I wish I had removed them when I had the throttle bodies off to change out the oil tank O rings, getting that effin intake system back in was a royal pain. Which brings up the next issue.
To make it easier to put things back together I sprayed silicon lubricant on the all the rubber and plastic parts, this helped a lot but I know there must have been a fair amount of residual remaining in the intake system. After getting things back together the bike ran very rough. When I first started it I had the seat off, so I figured maybe it is getting too much air. Put the seat on and this helped a lot and eventually the bike ran as it did before I did the work. However, today when I test rode it the acceleration was erratic, and it behaved as if there was water in the fuel. I only rode it around the block because I did not want to be left stranded. The bike sat for a month from the time I first took off the oil tank to the time I started it again last sunday.
I am wondering if moisture collected in the fuel tank during the month long down time, and if residual silicon lubricant in the intake are the culprits. In any case when I get a chance again I am going to take back it around the block several times to try and get all that stuff out and at least eliminate that potential cause.
When I get the money I am getting rid of the stock intake (what a bunch of garbage) and going with the triple filters. I would do it now but from what I have read I will need new exhaust and a pcIII or tuneboy also and looking at about 1500 bucks for the whole enchilada.
