sea foam ftw!!!

 

So yer sayin you had bad gas ... *braaaaaap ... phhhhhhhhhhhht*

 

yeah next time i wont fill her up with gas fortified with fiber

 

spoke too soon.. still runs like crap.

I think its something electrical though because i when i went to cold start it the starter ticked then i gave it gas and it fired up. I know its running rich because the exhaust smokes a little bit. I checked the + and - terminal connections and everything is tight and it has a new battery the previous owner put in. I noticed on the ECM there is an unplugged connection is this for accessories?

 

Sounds like the FPR to me honestly.

 

ok thanks for the input man.. i'm gonna bring her into the shop sometime this week.

 

dont do that...its gonna cost ya an arm n a leg. It's probly the FPR. Fuel Pressure Regulator. Cost ya bout 60 bucks shipped. Ain't but two bolts. (once the tank and sh*t is all outta the way)lol Good Luck

 

I'm thinking since the CCTL needs to be replaced also, i'm thinking while they're in there to replace the FPR which shouldn't be too much more. They quoted me $75 for labor on the cctl and $65 for the upgraded oem part which i think im gonna opt for instead of the A.P.E.

 

Just my opinion, but you are pissing your money away. If you dont know how to replace these parts, you should learn, and obviously learn about your bike while you are doing it. These two parts are very very simple to change out. You can get the APE for under $50 shipped, but it you want to got OEM, theres nothing wrong with that, just more money for something that will wear eventually versus the APE that will never wear. Not knowing anything at all, I bet you could do it faster than the time they quoted you for. If you could determine that it is indeed the FPR, there is no need for a shop. If I had to bet though it is the FPR.

 

the guy said he'd replace the FPR free of charge except parts with the cctl replacement. I would love to replace the parts myself but it's a pain in the *** not having a garage to work in, my bike sits in an apartment complex parking lot. I figure $75 is worth it in my situation. Thanks for everything guys you've been a great help.
