I fitted a home made version of the booster plug to my Himalayan, but when the chance of a "proper" one came up via a certain auction site I thought I would try it.
All I really wanted it to do was stop the random stalling, which indeed it did seem to do, as well as (perhaps) give it a bit more pep at the lower end of the rev range.
Recently the engine fault light has been taking ages to stop flickering and for the fuel pump to switch on - sometimes it can take minutes for the light to stop flickering, and while flickering of course you cant start it because the fuel pump does not switch on
Today I removed the plug, no more flickering fault light, pump starts up straight away - planning to take it out for a ride later to see it there really is any difference.
Has anyone else has a flickering engine fault light after fittig a booster plug?
It did not do it at first but as I have put miles on the bike it has started taking longer and longer to stop flickering, it bothers me that one day it will not stop flickering and I be stuck in the middle of nowhere.
