Re: How about 1998

[Ben Barkow <barkow@xxxxxxx>]

I've been contemplating surge since I get an R1100S 20 months ago. I 
tend to agree with Bob on tuning. I have a suspicion that cleaning 
injectors helps both in terms of flow and spray pattern. I have a 
write-up about it linked below. More drastic tricks related to O2 
sensors is another write-up about air-fuel ratio.

(Also just added a piece about making a parcel rack on a Corbin R1100S 
seat.
