Hey guys. I’m new to the forum because I’m relatively new to my ZX10R. I have a 2005 green ZX10R. I’ve owned it for a few months and just noticed a problem I wanted to see if anyone might be able to help me with.
Details about the bike:
About 20k miles
Power commander 3 installed
No lights or faults coming up
Recent valve adjustment (after problem noticed)
Problem.
My bike is running super rich with the power commander like the map in the commander minimum values are around +50. The plugs are blackened and I’m only getting less than 100 miles to a tank. I’ve tried switching the map to one I downloaded from the power commander website but the bike stumbles and won’t rev. The bike runs pretty well with the super rich map.
Since I pulled up the map and saw the insane numbers I started checking a few things.
-I checked the valves (all within spec)
-Inspected the vacuum lines and boots and can’t find any evidence of a vacuum leak (could have been missed)
-installed new plugs
-I’m going to be syncing the throttle bodies this weekend but I can’t imagine that having such a profound effect.
-I tried unhooking the power commander and the bike stuttered and didn’t rev the same as the other maps from the website.
Basically I’m asking if anyone has any ideas for me to check.
The power commander set super rich is allowing the bike to run and perform decently but with the blackened plugs it’s not right.
