First Test Ride of My Honda Pacific Coast on Fuel Injection

After literally years of work, I finally pulled my Honda Pacific Coast out of the garage to test it out for the first time ever on fuel injection.  The tuning went well up until I hit a slight snag.  I had the exhaust cover sitting in the trunk during the test ride.  That cover ended up hitting the battery cutoff switch that I installed several years ago.  When the bike lost power, it backfired.  The backfire blew out the wideband O2 sensor due to a JB Weld failure.  The moral of the story is that I need to weld the exhaust bung in place.  A friend is going to come over and do the welding later this week so that I can get back to my tuning next week.

 

After so many years of work, the bike is FINALLY starting to run with fuel injection.  I do believe this makes me the first ever in the history of Honda Pacific Coast motorcycles to ride one using fuel injection.  Huzzah!
