[ST] Fueling update



As some of you may remember I had an adventure in fueling while attending
the Western TSRA Rallye.  Well I just took a 2 hour lunch hour(oops) to go
pick up the bike from service.  The mechanic did experience the rich
condition on first start up, he said it fogged the entire shop area.  He
loaded the most current tune, reset the throttle sensor and replaced the air
idle controller stepper motor.  The shaft had some play in it and it was
really carboned up, $92 for that piece BTW.  They completed a 30k service
and replaced the air filter with a K&N.  They also cleaned it within and
inch of it's life.  I kept looking at it in the back of the truck going, is
that really MY bike?  I rushed it home, unloaded the bike from the truck,
loaded my tankbag and panniers on it, suited up and punched the button.
It's a little slow to fire and, sure enough it's running just a bit rough,
damn, well maybe it's because it was washed, I don't have enough experience
with that.  So as I put it in gear and go to leave I'm letting out the
clutch, and I'm letting out the clutch, and I'm letting out the clutch, I
thought they took out the plates and didn't put them back in, then just in
the last 5 deg of lever travel the clutch engages, and I kill the motor.
When it rains.......  fortunatly I'm too much of a hurry to get mad about
how different the clutch feels and make a quick ride back to work.  So since
I'm on the digest and leaving after work I won't have anymore updates on
this until I get back from PA July 2nd, one way or another(ominus
music)duhn-dun-duhhh!

P.S. the mechanic was very interested in what was going on as my bike it the
highest milage Sprint they service, and he is rather concerned about what is
going on with the FI.
