Anyone know the trick to disconnecting the wire harness from the ECU? (2018 Cali Classic 200i)
I'm sure it involves rotating the dial looking part, but I can't get it to rotate and don't want to break it.

The irony of an Iowan using ethanol free gas.
If I were in charge, all gas would be ethanol free.

The “sliders vs rollers” debate is one of those that the more you go down the rabbit hole—the more experiences and opinions you read about—the less clear the answer becomes.

I’m perfectly happy w the way the Cali runs w stock rollers, so that would be the simplest (and maybe smartest) way to go.  But there’s that curiosity.

Did come across one convincing blog where he evaluated sliders wca tachometer, as well as riding experience, concluding that sliders were a noticeable improvement.

Given Stig’s experience and track record of being well thought out, gonna give 13 g sliders a try (for apples to apples comparison).  I’ll update after a couple months of riding.

Sorry monkey-b,
I'd be fibbing if I said I remembered why I first went to 14g.

I know that years ago I tried some that caused my revs to be too high when cruising at 35mph. Sure, they gave me more acceleration - but at the cost of a busy engine.

I’m w you on lower revs, don’t need more acceleration off the line.
Got curious about sliders, going to try em in the Cali 200. Stock is 13g, think I’ll go w 13.5g sliders.  Going lighter doesn’t make sense to me, but thought it interesting you went higher.

I started reading this post before I noticed the original posted date....and thought, wow, Stig has worn out another set of sliders??

Maybe he’s a closet iron but, riding thousands of miles in secret

Will lyk.

Not too humid yet, but likely will be when you get here.
Seems our drought ended the past couple days.  Rained as hard as I ever remember a couple nights ago. Came down in sheets for 30 minutes.

You might like my yard. Some call it overgrown.  I call it the “state park” look. It’s what I’ve always wanted, plus I despise yard work (but not gardening). No mower or blower, never even raked leaves in 30 yrs.  In fact I snatch bags from neighbors late at night. 

PS  hope the cure isn’t as trying as the breakdown.  Happened 7 miles from home. Roadside assistance initially said 45-55 minutes.  An hour later the same. And again. Got home 4 ½ hours after first calling it in.

Tow truck driver said he was the only one on that day. They usually have 15 drivers!  Nobody wants to work Sundays. He had driven 500 miles by the time he got to me. Imagine driving a tow truck that far in a day!

Definitely spark, tested that this morning.  Sorry bout the confusion.

Inclined to think it’s the o2 sensor, except they should last longer than 8k miles. Is there another issue that cause the o2 sensor to go bad?

What else could trigger “oxygen sensor circuit abnormal”?

Scooter stalled during a ride, wouldn’t start back up.
Had been running great.

Two engine codes flashing:  ignition circuit abnormal (been flashing for a couple yrs, scoot running fine so I ignored it)
Oxygen sensor circuit abnormal (just started)

Replaced the o2 sensor about 8000 miles ago.  Time for a new one? First one lasted almost 30,000 miles, replacement was oem.

Search revealed CDI box, stator, or ignition coil could also be the issue.  How to find out which?

Can start by replacing o2 sensor, but at $130 it can be a pricey process of elimination

Showed bike will go on Europe-Asia tour pretty soon for a year or two.

Hope fuel shortages aren’t a problem, Ruffus
