Default What's wrong with her?

My bike sat for about a week and now it is sputtering at about 3000 rpms in every gear and has a lot of decel pops. My bike has about 12500 miles on it and i just changed all the oil about 2000 miles ago.

I installed the kury hypercharger about a month ago and it has been riding fine until now. Could this be happening because my bike has not been tuned?? Really don't want to have to take it to the stealership, any help please?

Remove the kury hyperdoodad, replace it with whatever you had on before, and see if that is the culprit.

hype device uses vacuum to control the awesome performance doors right?

maybe a vacuum hose has come off the intake manifold or the diaphragm in the doodad has bust....to test, put the cap back on the throttle body vacuum fitting

Okay thanks for the input guys, I will put the stock intake back on today after work and take it for a test ride. I will update when done.

How much oil did you put in? Are you sure you didn't over-fill the oil?

Refilled to all the specs in the manual, was running great after the oil change up until now.

Also might be bad gas. When is the last time you filled up and did you use a familiar station?

If you do this, it will also have the benefit of looking much nicer.

Haven't put gas in about two and half weeks. Won't hurt to fill her up with new gas, also I have Sta-bil's 360 that I haven't tried yet so maybe I will give that a go on the fill up.
