Hi Everyone,
I'm new to the forum and this is my first thread post. I have a issue that has been bugging me for sometime now and i really NEED help with it. I live in the Caribbean on a small island named GRENADA. I have a 2014 Raptor 700, i brought it used from a friend of mines. Everything was stock except the big gun evo slip on exhaust which had a leak around the rivets but it ride well with no issues, no poping.
After about 8 months or so I replaced the exhaust with a brand new identical big gun slip on (THIS IS WHERE MY PROBLEMS STARTED). After that i started poping and breaking up at times when riding, one time i realized the poping was so bad that i decided to check my spark plug, result was that it was black (not with oil) so I cleaned it with a wire brush and all was good again.
So i researched this and everything indicated that i needed a fuel controller when adding a performance exhaust like that or else i would be running lean. I researched what color the spark plug would look like if i'm running lean and found out that mines was the total opposite.
I still went ahead a purchased the Big Gun Fuel Controller. Before arrival of it i realized the bike had stop popping (my guess was probably the packing got burned out) the issue with the plug still remain the same tho. I would have to clean & change it ever so often. Installed the fuel controller and same thing. Played around with the setting and backed down the fuel from the recommend settings and same problems still exist. My current setting right now is GR 1, YEL 2, RED 3, YEL BLUE 2, RED BLUE 3. I upgraded the stock air filter to the K & Y thinking that would help but the same thing keep happening (Love the extra kick with it tho). I also know that the 700's run rich on cold start so I don't throttle after about 3 mins or so.
Plug was stock (CR8E) and i even tried the iridium & double electrode plugs (CR8EIX) & (CR8EK) even tried a colder plug (CR9E) ALL GO BLACK EVENTUALLY and will start to foul.
I ordered a repack for the exhaust and awaiting on it to arrive but after that, i'm all out of options.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE HELP ME I BEG......:crying
Note: We have no dino center here on the island.
