Wondering about my Geniune Mechanic (2013 Blur)
Posted: Thu Aug 24, 2017 7:36 pm
I bought my Blur into my dealer today to see if they could find out about my rough idle and my after fire. At first he said it might be the carb is fouled with ethanol (Blur's do not have a carb) and that they need to spend at most 1.5 hours looking to diagnose the issue (That could cost up to $120 before anything was fixed).
I told him I was broke and he said he could charge $20 for a tech to look at it. The tech sat on it for a bit and said he heard no after fire and that the rough idle was "not a problem" and that I should come back if things get worse. He said it could be an air leak or something that is making it run lean. I told him that the plug looked too clean, like white, and he said that is normal because I have a fuel injector. That did not make sense to me either.
This all did not sound right to me, and I am wondering if if sounds right to you. Since, from what I read, a lean running bike could result in engine seizure.
