All is right in my world

:yes: I just picked up my RT after having the purge valve replaced and it ran great. Maybe I'll even get better than 20 mpg now. :yikes: It only took 11,000 miles to get the bugs out but if it keeps running and handling like it did today I will be one happy camper.

We are leaving on Tuesday for the HD Road Glide Forum's Shark Week III in St. George, UT and I was worried that my Spyder wouldn't be out of the shop in time. I've been home for a whole week and it is time to hit the road again.

A big thank you to all of the Spyderlovers who take the time to post about the issues they are having with their machines and the smart ones who tell us how to fix them. If it wasn't for you my Spyder would probably still be in the shop.

What problems did the bad purge valve cause?

It caused the Spyder to run very rough, it wouldn't idle smoothly and would go between about 1200 rpm and 2000 rpm. It stalled a lot and I was getting about 20 mpg. I'm taking a long ride to breakfast this morning and I really hope to see some improvement in the mileage.

 

[Bob Denman]

Waiting on a full report... about breakfast!!

Hopefully your problems are purged from your RT forever.

And don't forget to tell us how breakfast is this morning.
