They do send you a medal or a trophy? A "sticker", at least? Welldone, there, @p6x!
Re:
"In Pecos, I lost idle briefly. I think it had to do with the extremely high temperature +100 degF, combined with multiple engine starts in a short span of time (I was relocating the bike). Apart from that, the Le Mans was perfect. "
> The V11 ECU operates a fuel rich mapping at each start-up for some 4,000 revolutions of the engine, regardless of ambient and engine temperatures. This is particularly compromising in such high ambient temperatures when the engine is already at operating temperature. A nuisance, but something to be expected.
"In Pecos, there was a ribbon of plastic flying that got caught on my left turn indicator, and overheating on my exhaust pipe. It melted on the pipe and left a black streak which is very hard to get rid off. "
> Try buffing the stainless steel exhaust with some steel wool, perhaps 00 or finer to remove the melted plastic.
Again, welldone! And thanks for sharing venture!
