Welcome to the forum! The modbug will get you. Its like a disease it eventually gets everyone! That 100LL works real good! Your front pipe is discolored from running lean. Do a search about how to adjust the fuel for each cylinder. Also looks like your front heatshield is missing!

Welcome to the 4m. Nice set of mods on your list....if you can skim a little, get the Barnett SR-2 clutch mod done at the same time....you won't regret it. Heck, no need to go to some exotic island for a honeymoon....they have beaches in MN, don't they

I planned to get a PC once i save for one, that should take care of that and then if i understand right i will be able to get different maps if i add the big air kit and exhaust later on?
About the heat shield, i didnt notice that, im new to these bikes

My bad 100LL, no heatshield on front pipe. It is just chromed and discolored.
You can adjust your fuel amount to each cylinder with the stock computer. The buttons on the tach are used for this, and computer codes. Do a search on the forum! They run lean from the factory for emissions purposes. You can do this adjustment until you get your pipes, pc3 and vbak.

Whew! Good to know, ill look into that. When i first saw it i looked and it said that blue pipes means rich, and yellow is lean....if im correct on that what does it mean when the first few inches are blue and then the rest yellow?
Ill see if i can manage with my limited, but growing, mechanical knowledge to look at the spart plugs and see what they have to say.

If you're not missing that heat shield, I'd be in to it right away. Never seen a shield blue like that on a Warrior. Reading the current plugs, replacing with new, reading again, adjust the ECU, read, repeat as needed would be my plan. Nice ride BTW!
Someone on here my have a fuel processor for sale.

It doesnt have the same wicked acceleration as my old R1, but when i can get off the bike after an hour or so and be nice and comfy with no aches or pains....totally worth it...and the acceleration is still very nice!
