All:
I just purchased a used 2006 FZ6. 20,000 miles. It has been serviced regularly, and is all stock except for the Scorpion brand exhaust and K&N air filter. My question is the following: When I hold steady RPMs around 3K, or when I really rev it above 8K and drop the throttle, I get a crackling/popping sound. If that's OK, then fine, and I'll move along, but I believe from my carbureted offroad riding days, that would mean the air/fuel mixture isn't correct.
I just completely washed and cleaned the air filter (K&N). Brand new engine oil and coolant (not that this matters). Is this normal? Can it be corrected? How do I know if I'm running lean or rich?
I'm good at following directions, I just don't know much about the fuel injection on the FZ6. I appreciate any input and help.
Thanks,
Ryan
