Default Bike running rich

I'm just curious what the negatives (other than fuel consumption) are if your bike is running to rich for EFI bikes.

Depends on how rich. It could leave carbon deposits from unburned fuel deposits and foul up plugs really bad. Possibly some noxious fumes whenever you ride and, as you mentioned, horrid gas mileage.

Guess I'll be ordering that auto-tune sooner than I had expected. Thanks for the info.
