Sorry, If I'm picked up any of this wrongly : this problem only started or was noticed after the bike had been in for work to be done, viz on the throttle bodies/linkage ? After which you found some evidence of lack of attention to detail - missing seal ? Yes/no ? Then a foreign body is found in cylinder, - well, call me old fashioned etc, and whilst one wouldn't want to speak on the specifics of this case, one could make a pretty powerful case for the theory that something plopped in to induction when throttle bodies were exposed (airbox removed), - you are very lucky that this apparently did not cause damage - you might want, out of interest, to get compression checks done (if not already) on each cylinder. Where did the foreign body come from !! It cant get in past filters in normal operation, and it didn't drop off anything inside airbox..... Very curious, but I guess kind of re-assuring that they found something. |
