Good evening,
I would post the graphs I have, if it wasn't so ******ing difficult!
Anyway to put the record straight. Ever since I had the bike back in April 2011 it ran rich, and on occasion it smoked. It smelt of unburnt fuel, and riders would refuse to follow behind because of the smell. I only got about 45-48mpg (imperial) at best, whether gentle or hard riding. It has a great top end though, and once was quite happy at 130mph indicated for many miles on the autobahn....
The previous regime of service clowns and contacts (pre Karen, who incidentally was excellent) at the Norton Factory claimed it was remapped to fit the loud silencers, I suspect not done properly. After a long tour in Scotland I complained to Norton about the fuelling and one of the previous service managers suggested that the plugs were faulty, and said to try a new set! Pratt.
The Dynojet team told me the plot was running very rich indeed, Air fuel ratio of 12.0 average across the range, with the new Power Commander it is approx 13.8 to 14.0, according to my reading of the graphs, so I now feel vindicated.
Still, this is all part of the overall "experience" of owning an "enthusiasts" bike, well that's what some of my friends say.
If I can work out how to post the graphs, I will.
Thanks for your interest - and a brilliant forum by the way.
Regards
Rojah
