I have an 09 dragon 800 and just took the first trip out this season and I had noticed when I went to start it on the mountain it wouldnt hold an idle. Well got it warmed up and took off and had the check engine light come on once I’d hit roughly 6500 rpm and would kick it to limp mode with the det code. Checked the plugs and they were way to lean.
I talked to the nearest dealer and they told me to change the fuel filter which I did. Tried it the next day and it still had that issue. I did have trouble starting it before the trip but drained the gas and put new in and it fixed that problem. It idles fine at 1500 ft back home.
On the last trip last year I had replaced the voltage reg and capacitor but rode a full day running great after.
I also did notice a couple hornet nests that had formed over the summer behind my dash but looked in my air box and didn’t see anything. I’m at a loss at what could be causing this as it ran perfect last season
