slug Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Last weekend I pulled Dirty Bird out of the garage for a little run (hasn't been ridden in over a month). It idled for a while and after it warmed up and I turned the fast idle lever off, it ran for a minute more then suddenly died. Weird. I went over to the bike and found gas dripping to the ground. Some of the gas was coming from the T-junction where the main fuel line branches off to the LH injector. I also pulled the velocity stack off and found a large pool of gas inside the throttle body. I think it may have been a tad too rich on that side . Is this a sign of a bad injector, electrical gremlin, overactive fuel pump, bad pressure regulator (if it has one?) or something else? Fortunately I have a long, cold winter to figure this one out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gstallons Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Contact www.lindertech.com 1-888-809-3835 for fuel injector service.They can recondition your injectors and flow rate them to make sure they match . Is the fuel line connection ( that is leaking) held on w/a worm type clamp or a crimp type fitting ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sculler2x Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I had this problem and found a solution. There is an O ring on the T fitting, where it goes into the injector,and it needs to be lubricated. The problem is getting a fuel proof grease. I used Krytox which is a florocarbon based.

I should have mentioned that Dirty Bird is an '04 refitted with a pre-'04 fuel tank and external fuel pump. Worm type. I'll make sure they're all tight 'n stuff. I was thinking of sending them in to Lindertech before this happened. Guess I have a better reason to get off my butt and do it. You have an approximate cost for the service?

gstallons Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 You can look on their website n see . It is worth it just to have them cleaned n matched flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I didn't see any costs on the website, but they say you should use their service if you notice: " . . . Poor idle, loss of performance, hesitation, hard starting, detonation, surging or misfiring." Sounds like a thread title on V11LeMans.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
