Hi everyone. It's been a while since I have been on this board. I joined in April 2003. Anyway, I need help regarding backfiring and the fact that the guys riding in back of me smell raw gas when I take off.
I have a VTX 1300, 2003 model. I have full Road House pipes and a Hypercharger. All installed by the dealer. The bike has backfired and smelled of gas since the installation. My milage is down to 32 MPG.
Here's what we have done to date:
1. Checked for leaks in all the vaccume hoses, including the one that runs the butterfly on the hypercharger.
2. Re-torqued all of the exhaust nuts
3. Checked the air cut off valve on the carb to make sure it was not pluged.
we found nothing after doing all of the above.
Any other suggestions???
Thanks in advance for your help.
