I finally went into the diagnostic mode tonight, and discovered my AFV's were 105.0 for the rear and 87.5 for the front. Are these safe and/or normal? If not, what can I do about it? Can I adjust them? How (and to what values)? Or should I have the dealer do it while I have my 6000 mi service tomorrow? FWIW, my engine is stock except for airbox and solenoid removal (with resistor). |

The 87.5 for the front seems pretty low to me. I would have them look at it. It's low enough that I would wonder whats going on because at that level you are possibly running very lean at WOT as well. No you cant adjust it without using software A and B along with cable C. It's all doable though. |

And if I were to go looking someday for said hardware and software, what might I expect to end up spending? |

Around $120 -$300 depending on what you choose. Kind of like a standard and Pro offering. |

Marco, my bike is in the shop at this moment for throwing a trouble code for this. My bike has dropped the front AFV two summers in a row now once the temps are up. During the cooler part of the year 100F/105R is the norm. My bike threw the code when the front AFV got down to about 80. Bike was running great. I've been looking/talking around and finding this is happening to other Cali bikes. I believe the front intake is getting a lot of extra fuel from the fumes through the carbon cannister on these hot days. Somewhere around 80F I think you'll get a CEL-P0132 and if your F/R AFVs spread more than 20 points I think you'll get a P1047. I got both last summer and the dealer could never find anything "wrong" with my bike. I think nothing is really wrong, just that BMC didn't realize the effects of really hot temps and porting the cannister to just the one (front) intake. I'll post more when I find out more. |

So the fuel gets dumped into the front cylinder, huh? I never could get an answer on that one....that was an idea tossed around a while ago. Seems very plausible. BTW Uni, I have a CA bike and had a similar experience with the low front AFV--all the way to the dealer tearing into things and finding nothing abnormal. |

although, I must say my front AFV has never been over 90 for any length of time--my lowest ever recording was 79.5 and it was cold outside...hmmmm |

I checked my 2009 CR AFV yesterday prior to a 250 mile ride and it was 110.5 for both front & rear. Checked again when returned home and it was still 110.5 front & rear. I had the latest ECM update M3PUS12Z three weeks ago and it helped with the 2K to 4K RPM range of operation but now it has reverted back to the surging and bucking in the 2K to 4K range. I burned through two tanks of fuell and purchased Shell or Conoco premium fuell. I guess I will head back to the dealer to upload the M3PUS12Z program into ECM again. The bike is completly stock other than handle bar change. |

Bike just back from my 6K service. Skip Fordyce was nice enough to give me a COMPLIMENTARY k&n filter with my service (I guess they were out of the stocker). AFV is now 100.0 front, 100.0 rear. |
