Re: W800
I have a 2022 w800, which has ~47hp. It's my first bike, so I have nothing
to which to compare it.

Re: Poor idle after slow drop on right side.
I've owned mine for 15 years , I drain the float bowls regularly [ put a

Thanks folks for your input,

Re: Poor idle after slow drop on right side.
The part you are asking about is the throttle position sensor. I¡¯m reasonably certain it only affects ignition timing. ?I¡¯d be surprised if it was the culprit, though it¡¯s not impossible. Was

Since you¡¯ve been doing some work on the bike, the first thing that comes to mind is it might be unrelated. How long since the bike was running on a regular basis? If it¡¯s been a while, it might
