I have a 09 R that has recently become almost impossible to ride. It's my daily commuter so I ride it when it's hot, cold, rain, or shine. For some reason over the past few weeks it's steadily started backfiring on decel and riding really rough at low rpms. A little background info: stator upgrade has been done, ebr race ecm, and rt-3 exhaust. The exhaust and ecm have been on for about a year. All input is appreciated. I'd really like to get back on 2 wheels as soon as possible. (Message edited by gkarb on May 01, 2015) | ||

Intake/exhaust leaks For intake, use propane or mapp gas (unlit of course) and, with a long narrow hose to get into the tight areas, push some around the seals when idling. See if the engine speeds up. For exhaust, put a leather glove on, soak it in water until saturated, then start running your gloved fingers around the exhaust seals area when idling. If you have a leak there, you'll know it. Don't forget your injector o-rings too. They can leak as well. | ||

Because you ride in all weather conditions, I would check all connections, corrosion can cause multiple issues. It is easy cheap maintenance to do. | ||

Appreciate all the feedback. I'll try those things this evening or tomorrow morning and let you know what I find | ||

Absolutely check all your grounds. I see you're in Houston, where rust rusts. Double-check grounds. Is your battery original? Kinda sounds like a low-voltage issue. | ||

I'm actually in Lafayette, Louisiana right now which is almost identical weather. Back to Houston next week. The battery is only a few months old but it has been starting weaker lately. I usually ride with the voltage readout on the screen and it's been charging really well. About to get into it so we'll see how this goes.. | ||

I always leave mine on a tender. Remember these take some serious cranking amps to start. |
