ive been trying to get my bike to pass the arizona emisssions but i keep failling my HC's they r way higher than they should be just seein if anyone knows how to rig somethin up so i can pass. ive already changed air cleaner and spark plugs

 

wow i never knew there was any state were you actually had to smog your bike .. and i thought cali was bad..

 

i know your tellin me it hella sucks i got to try and get it registered by the 30th

 

do they smog a bike the same way they smog a car ? could you post the numbers too please . i want to see exactly what type of emissions your throwing off compaed to what themax and the avg is .. also @ what speeds they are performing the test (cars use a 15 and 25 mph test)

 

they tested me for HCs and COs, my COs r fine my HC readings r 2450ppm at idle the standard is 1800ppm, and 1930ppm at 2500rpm the standard is 500ppm... and i dont drive the bike just rev it up to 2500rpm

 

the bike needs to go for a really good hard ride to blow all the hydro carbons that has built up in the engine and exhaust out, if you take it out the morning of the test and really get the revs up you will find that it will probably pass. Bike that only get short runs tend to have higher emissions coz the engine gets coked up.

 

i agree with mike you need to ride the bike really hard before you take it in to be smoged and dont let it sit for a long time when you get down there. also make sure the bike is running correctly in the 1st place (spark plugs, etc)

 

2 things...

1. Where are you located....so I know never to live there....

2. When getting my racecar through emissions, I'd buy a product called "Guarenteed To Pass". Put it in the tank with some water in fuel treatment stuff, run it till the tank was 3/4 way down then go the emissions. I've taken cars in with all the emissions disabled/removed and gotten better results than new cars get. My old Z24 fast passedwith an "Engine Underpowered" fault from the emissions computer, even though it was a modded motor.
