My '01 800X was just in to be fixed for some idiot taking a turn wide and wiping out my left hand front suspension ($3000+). While it was in, I told them to check out the motor for the fast idle thing where she won't idle unless you blip the choke.
Whether it is the cause or not, I don't know, but they found that the rubber coating on the reed cases was delaminating. The coating was delaminating where the reed petals rested on it, sort of squeezing out to the sides and leaving a gap where the petal is supposed to rest on it. My question is this. How would this manifest itself in performance? Would it cause the idle to be high? Would it affect high speed? I have plenty of nerd theories, but I'd like to hear what you guys think.
