Well, I'm back with another question.
Some of you may remember that I had a problem getting my 02 RS to run a few weeks ago. So I completely stripped apart every piece of the fuel delivery system, cleaned em, and got the bike running. That was a major accomplishment. :dance:
I've noticed over the last couple of weeks that I have a very strong gas odor when I start the bike, and occasionally when I pull up to a stop. I've also only been getting ~30miles to the gallon, compared to the usual 40mpg that I had before. I've done a complete inspection of the bike when its running, and there are no leaks that I can see.
If the bike is running rich, would that cause extra gas to be expelled through the exhaust?
Maybe a bad O2 sensor causing this?
I firmly believe that these symptoms are inter related.
I've searched through the forum, and haven't found anything that I think matches this.
If anyone knows of a particular thread that address's this, please point me in the right direction.
Thanks again!!!
