ok. So I got a new TCI from dingy & my bike runs like the bike I thought I was buying. I guess my question is under normal riding, could this increase my gas mileage. I guess since it runs better I probably will be twisting on the throttle more.
I want to thank dingy for all the help with the tci module he sells. It fixed my bike's driveability issues. I thought if ran good before. It's amazing to me how well it runs when everything is right. Thanks for your help Gary.
It seems to have a dead cylinder. This weekend I plan on giving it a good tune. Wires plug caps plugs. Running Seafoam through it seems to help. Love the way this old 1988 rides & handles. Just want to get the performance back.
At the risk of opening a can of worms that we don't want LOL I need to put a rear tire on my 1988. it does have a Metzeler on it now. has any body tried a Michelin or has everyone switched over to the dark side.
On my 1988 at around 3000 rpm on up it has a sputter. It also doesn't seem to want to rev above 3500. up until then runs pretty good. also seems like it has a dead cylinder. haven't gotten into that yet. any suggestions where to start? also only getting 35 mpg I know these bikes will get better than that. Man I really enjoy riding this bike!!
Mine was doing the same thing. I changed the fuel filter (the original I think) that helped. I also found the positive battery cable loose. Not exactly sure what did it but is running a whole lot bettet
