My sputtering and lurching at highway speed took 3 trips to the dealer and 4 mechanics to resolve. Turns out it was just a vacuum lock in the gas tank. Now my machine is blazing down the highway.
Damn I am glad it is fixed. I did not talk about it much because I was still riding it everyday to work and having fun since it was only happening at top speeds. I was having troubles getting to 70 miles per hour but now back to 80 if I want it.
I did go down on the jet while diagnosing the problem and it only made things worse until the vacuum problem was fixed. My dealer thought I was full of it. I had to race out of there to get to work and did not have time to talk about the resolution and jet size when I was there.
If you have not been following the story I went from a 122.5 jet to a 135 jet. it ran fine but I was wasting fuel. I knew that the problem was not the jet because it ran fine for months before the stuttering problem began. So I got the valves adjusted and put a better suited jet in. I am not too upset as those things are were necessary and now they are out of the way.
It is just a little frustrating having someone look at you like your nuts and you can tell they just want you to get the hell out of their store. In their defense they did one more pow wow and came up with the vacuum lock scenario and thank goodness because now like I said before, it is fixed and running better than ever. I can appreciate all the modifications now.
