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!

Up Bear Creek Canyon

I took a short lunchtime jaunt up Bear Creek Canyon today.  The bugs are starting to come out now that spring is finally upon us.  It’s great having so many wonderful canyons to ride so close to where I live here in Colorado!
