Default Running rich

My new deluxe threw a running rich code. 190 miles on the clock. No mods have been done. Kinda annoying with a new bike. Has anyone else experienced this ?

I wasn't aware there were codes based on AFRs. I guess that what the warranty is for.

I would just clear it and see if it happens again. It will save you time.

I did clear it and it happened again. The dealer was kind enough to pick it up and take care of the issue. There is an awful lot of soot in the tail pipes.

I would have tried a WOT run to see if the bike ran any better. Could of skipped out on tuning it. Haha
