    What if...
    ...a sudden outbreak of "free-thinking" and "free-spirited" political debate broke out in the "Off Topic" section?

    The politics of Mad$tad, California, and New York. Lol.
    I'm SO glad this board isn't so full of stuffed shirts that we can't let our hair down at times.
    Y'all keep rocking those keyboards!
    Cheers,

    The guy who invented the first wheel was an idiot -
    the guy who invented the second one... he was the genius!

    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 is back from her spa "week" and is raring to go?

    New shoes (E4s), all filters, plugs(6s), & all fluids.
    Going to be a great summer!
    Now: 97,500 miles in 4 years and 8 months of ownership.
    Probably will be at 110,000 by 1 August.
    I love my 'motorized mistress.'
    Cheers,
    Steve
