they taught you all about that lefty loosy, righty tighty stuff????...UH OH 8O ...



any cardinal rules or hot tips, besides the above?

A little bit of good info for the 09...once its been run-in at the dealership for it "burn-in" time, and the rider happens to go somewhere where the temps and or air quality is significantly different, then the customer should start the bike, dont rev it and let it idle for 15 min...this will ensure un-interrupted (stalling) fun for the rest of the day.. your bike may die after 1st start-up, should continue to run after second start-up. Again, this is with extreme changes...minor changes will be worked out as you ride. The major adjustments will also, eventually work themselves out too, but if you let the bike idle for a while and let is make its changes before you hit the trails, then even better.

Ambient air temp, fuel quality and air flow all factors to keep in mind, so keep the air cleaners clean.

15 minutes? I would think you would have a melted engine by then. I heard 5 minutes but I may have been too excited about the bike and not paying close attention to the tech when I picked up my bike

just to make sure, this 15 min, you do this only once right? not every time you change conditions??

the bottom line is, the bike will make its own adjustments as needed depending on conditions...even while riding...however, if you want your ride to start off trouble free then let the bike adapt to the altitude and temp change while you gear up...thats all.

your dealer will do the 15 minute run in before the bike goes out the door. but if you buy the bike at sea level, then drive to Colorado and are about to ride at a high altitude, let the bike warm up with hands off the throttle while you gear up...

no big deal, just an obvious point...if you change conditions on a carb bike, you need to change jetting to get it to run properly...no different, except the bike will adjust the length of time that the injector will remain open depending on air pressure (O2 levels) and temp.

this 15 min warm up to adjust for altitude it does sound very logical to me
the only sensor that could adjust for altitude would be the MAP sensor it could do that
during start up and wide open throttle, that how other efi sys dealing with altitude,unless the efi sys.has a baro sensor but in the owners manual there is code
for that sensor
the only thing that 15 min warm could do depending how complex the sys. is ,
if efi sys. has a wide band 02 sensor and adjust the fuel trim to compensate for altitude
but that would not be very dynamic way of dealing with altitude
so i am very curious to how this really works

I never saw this post before, I like VIKINGS thinking, where has that man gone? Interesting no one ever answered his question.
