I have put a few miles on my Bullet now (like more than 100) and I think it is running rich. I bought it and asked for a Hitchcocks supplied short exhaust to be fitted as I dislike the look of the standard one (it sounds fie, just don’t like the look). I now sound like a 1960s diesel generator but look a bit cooler I feel- and everyone can hear me racing towards them at 45mph (note to self, buy ear plugs in morning).
Anyway, it smells like it is running rich and coming off the accelerator/throttle I usually get one backfire (sometimes two)- this is normally straight off the throttle so going down a long hill throttle closed there is no recurrent backfire (don’t know if that is relevant but suggests to my ignortent brain that the EFI is correcting?).
I will have the spark plug off tomorrow once I find the socket but thought I would ask now- I flatter myself that I have enough experience to be probably correct. I understand there is some kind of blanking bolt that can be fitted to the bike exhaust. Does anyone have the product code and is it as simple as that, as much as I don’t enjoy rejetting carbs I do know how to do that but EFI is a mystery to me. I know I can fit different EFI but I have an army green C5 Bullet, not going to be doing a lot of racing on that so balk at spending hundreds £.
Any advice from the wise?
