Hi all,
I know from looking on the forum that the issue of a lumpy/erratic idle & snatchy low speed pick up etc is one that many 961 owners have experienced. I would like to improve this aspect on my own 2014 961 & am considering going down the de-cat route with O2 sensor eliminator plugs. I'm not bothered about gaining any extra power & don't want an ECU re-map, I'm just trying to get a smoother idle & better low speed running.
Are there any owners out there who've just done the de-cat & eliminator plugs who can advise as to whether or not this would improve matters? Or is this a pointless exercise without going for a a re-map as well? I'm not expecting the bike to purr like a Honda VFR750 but just to idle & pick up like a well set up twin on carbs would do. I'm guessing that just making the mixture a tiny bit richer may help matters as it's clearly running lean at low revs.
Thanks in advance...
