Hey Fellas, thanks for any info.... I'm a newbie!
So I'll try to be brief, not sure I can be though....
Couple weeks ago I bought an 09 800 Dragon from a dealer, seemed like a great deal, 1200miles 4k.... get home and ride for about an hour, I was happy, until I hit the straight strech headed for home, as soon as i hit 7000rpm it defuels/limp mode.... No matter the conditions if i hit 7k rpms it goes into limp mode. I've also noticed some sort of issue with it idling at different rpms sometimes low sometimes as high as 3500 after riding for awhile.
Not real happy with the dealership. Definitely feeling taken advantage of, but I'm not taking it back.
I've been doing my best to read everyone elses threads and problems so I dont rehash things you guys have already discussed. Im planning to get the Pcv and will wait till summer to install a Dragon fix kit of some sort, but I'm nervous that it'll scatter engine parts all over if i continue riding it, so i've been reading alot of info and decided to try and check out the Tps also some thought that the Ecu or regulator could be involved? I've built the Tps tool and struggled through taking the Airbox off for the first time... haha... not as easy as i would have imagined.
So now I have the throttle bodies removed and notice that they are pretty dirty and oily, I'll attempt to add a pic here also. I'm thinking that it cant be normal to look the way that they do?
Maybe I'm wrong but wanted to get somones opinion before i clean it up and slap them back on.
Any other info that you guys can give me would also be great! Will clean up the airbox/ Can I seal it with epoxy or silicone? Any other maintenence things I should do while I've got it this torn apart?
Much appreciation to you guys on here helping strangers like me out.... Thanks Mike
