Could really use some help, will buy beer
I've been battling this problem ever since buying my bike in 2018.
Whenever coming to a stop, it gives out a thick fuel smell. Enough to make riders behind my choke and my own eyes to start watering :O It feels like it is throwing this smell the moment it comes to a dead stop. I ride everyday in the city and light to light. It seems to be less of a smell if I am out on the freeway cruising and then coming to a stop. Been back and forth with Jamie but we couldn't quite seem to get it to go away even with his suggestions. I even bit the bullet and bought an SE aluminium manifold as he was thinking my stock one was warped. Would someone please help? I do not have the stock tune to revert to, so I can't test if it's the pipe that's the problem. I am running these on the 2018 Heritage Classic 1) cobra neighbour hater slip ons 2) SE extreme ventilator intake 3) SE intake manifold (aluminium) 4) PV tuner (map attached - https://wetransfer.com/downloads/f9f...5195025/bac1bf) I will be sending beer to whoever helps to solve this, it's really been the bane of my riding but I am sure there is a solution out there |
at idle your lambda is .981 which should be lean enough to not have any fuel smell, I think that this lambda will take you out of closed loop and then if your VE is off you could be rich.
Any chance you have a fuel leak somewhere? Just read that .981 will put you in closed loop, so you should be no smell from exhaust. |
no leaks that I can find, I just swapped to an aluminium air intake and did the spray test
Also no leaks from exhaust I did a bit of sniffing (literal) and it's coming out of the pipes, the scent that is any other variables that I am missing? |
Decel fuel added?
|
download the dynojet power core software and do a log to see how things look when at idle. I had trouble retrieving my original tune as well, but the FM guys showed me how.
|
Are you running the head breather vents to atmosphere instead of back into the intake? That can be a cause of a very strong smell at idle.
Also - I have seen O2 sensors get flaky at the edge of the closed loop range when trying to set them as max rich (funny because we are talking 1/2 a fuel point) . You could try setting the lambda to 1 and see if the problem goes away. |
I could be wrong, but I thought that bike had 5.3 injectors, not 4.38 injectors.
Maybe make sure you have the correct injector size before you try to auto-tune it? . |
Hi all,
thanks for the input. Fellow forum members are the best! I got help from Ke5rbd who took a look at my map & reduced the deceleration enleanment. Loaded it & it still smells, although less, or maybe I am just mentally telling myself there is a change. Either way, I did take the suggestion of riding in log mode and will be sending him a log. Also did a test where I watched the gauge during auto tune. It seems the smell it thrown when I come to a stop and the VE table is in the 1250 rpm and 0 tps mode. Bike runs amazing and even w the reduce decel that Ke5rbd did on the map, no popping. Just an annoying stink!!! |
Is your air filter wet? I bet those pipes have a shit ton of reversion. If that's the case, you're gonna have to pull fuel from that area.
A neighbor had a soaked air filter from that exhaust and reversion but he was also running performance cams but just a thought. Not the best exhaust performance wise. The name pretty much says why people run them. Sound not performance. |
thanks, what would the area be to pull fuel from?
FYI, today I pulled the o2s & the bike seemed to run stronger. Used a map that fellow forumer sent to test out if the sensors were faulty The stink is present Back to the drawing board today |
