    What if...
    ...switching from NGK 6 style spark plugs (the 'standard' option) to NGK 7 style spark plugs (the option in the Owner's Manual for 'extended high speed driving') was the cause of the "cold stumble" on cooler days?

    What if when you take off instead of Grandma-ing it you drop the hammer on it. That cures the stumble. JMHO

    Actually, my northern friend, no it doesn't.
    Maybe in your climate, but not the warmth of Florida.
    In fact, if you "drop the hammer" with a lot of purpose, you can actually stall the bike out.
    If you feather the crap out of the clutch and roll on some throttle, the bike will still lurch forward, then back. It's truly not a pleasant feeling.
    C'mon down - I'll show you.

    Do you think the ambient temperature has something to do with it? Sounds like you think your warmer temps may be a factor. So what about humidity? I've ridden a lot of days in the 40's and no prob. I think my absence of the problem could be that my bike is in a climate controlled environment. My garage never gets below 65° or above 75°.

    Possibly. My shop is not climate controlled.
    I need to gather some data WRT ambient temps and the stumble.

    I'm really hoping that Guhl mod makes this go away completely. Tired of it.

    What if...
    ...Isleen went to her "spa" weekend yesterday?

    She's getting all her fluids & filters serviced & bled.
    New plugs (going with NGK 6s, non Iridium, need to establish a baseline)
    Investigating a possible leak in the rear pedal brake system
    Some minor cosmetic work done on her undercarriage
    And then new shoes (E4s - her 3d set))
    My dealership is doing all this work. They take care of me.

    It is supposed to rain all weekend, so I thought it was a good time before my BIG trip.
    Of course, now the sun is out....lol.

    So what's the big trip? When are you coming this way in June? We have been having crappy cold weather so far and I'm starting to get the itch to ride!

    Isleen sounds like a very spoiled young lady...

    By comparison my motorspouse has never seen a spa day, in fact she doesn't clean up very often, she sits sedentary for months at a time, and her seat is getting softer. Even when I manage to get her revved up the ride is over too soon. (ok admittedly that might not be her fault)

    What if...I commit to ensure she is cared for properly, as she justly deserves and take her out more often....?

    The BIG trip starts in Monument CO where I'm meeting my riding mentor at my sister's house, heads towards the North Rim, then up the backside of CA to Crater Lake in OR, then Hwy 1 to Vancouver.. Heading east to Glacier, Yosemite, Badlands, Rushmore, then to my younger sister in Milwaukee. Then to MI, Toronto, New Brunswick, (Lloyd!). Down to Maine, VT/NH, Finger Lakes in NY and my friend in Quakertown, PA. Then BRP to my favorite hills in NC/TN. Then the KY Bourbon Trail. Or something like that....lol.
    Planning about 5 weeks underway. Very limited super slab routing. Can't wait.
