2008 spark plug cleaning

[JOEL9]

Here is a service bulletin i ran across again, thought i'd post it up. Your engine light will blink slowly and stop when operation is complete then twist off the throttle.

SPARK PLUG CLEANING PROCEDURE

2008 XB and 1125R Buell motorcycles provide a feature to help clear residual fuel from the combustion chamber if a flooded engine or fouled spark plugs are suspected. This is achieved by opening the throttle to wide open, setting the Run/Stop switch to Run, then turning the ignition switch ON. This will fire the spark plugs for approximately 4 seconds, burning any fuel left over in the combustion chamber. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure several times to allow a severely flooded engine to start.

NOTE: Motorcycle should be in Neutral

We need a part of the forum that has random stuff like this so it doesnt get lost in random threads! Or made a sticky!
