high fuel consumption and some weird stuff
Hi Folks,
For a couple of months now i own a xt660z tennere currently 45000 km on the clock.
From the beginning i had a really high fuel consumption with an avg km/L of 15.
I changed the spark plug, air filter cleaned all the electrical connections and checked all the electrical components, adjusted the valves. Everything was in spec.
And still the high fuel consumption.
Then i noticed a strange wire coming from the fuel injector ground to the white ground connector at the battery.
It seams like there is a kind of fuse in the middle of the wire so i cut it open, but to my surprise there was no fuse but a 3w light bulb to have some king if resistance i think. I could imagine this was made to richen the bikes fuel to air mix.
So i removed the wire and light bulb had to readjust the idle speed because it was now way to high above 2000 rpm.
And it seems that the bike now runs much smoother, filled her up with a full tank of fresh gas and reset the trip.
Fingers cross if this will fix my fuel consumption problem.
