High Miler
I performed a service last week and brought the bike to my dealer to check / reset the TPS and to balance / sync the TB's.
The bike runs great while it is at operating temps but is cold natured now once started and when it is cold it does not start on the first try, i.e., it will start and die off after a few seconds and then restart and continue to run but does not like to take any throttle.
Now when the dealer check the sync on the TB's he did it at 3000 rpm, is this normal? I know nothing about syncing TB's / fuel injection bikes, just old 2 strokes and CV carb bikes which are done at a idle. I would also think that the TB's should be sync'ed at an idle.......am I correct?
I was thinking of putting my vacuum sync stick on the beast this weekend and see what it tells me, the bike almost acts like it is not getting any or very little fuel at an idle on one of the cylinders, but once you open up the throttle it comes to life.
Am I on the right track or blowing smoke up my own a$$? I guess I could also go out at night in the garage and see if the damn high tension leads are firing on the valve covers again, I've ordered a set of plug boots that Pete Roper reccomended.
Can any of you long time Guzzists set this newbie straight or at least in the correct direction. I going to a rally in two weeks and would love to take my Italian GS and show all the other Jap crap riders what a great bike the Guzzi is.
