potential rc8r owner--stalling problems

Considering new rc8r and have been checking the forums for info, On the UK forum a lot of stuff about stalling issues. What about here in the US? Any of you owners had this problem? If so, what were fixes?

I have 2010 with the club kit and it will stall sometimes on a cold day if I don't let it warm up properly. Idk I just let it warm up to atleast 190*f and I don't have any issues

Can't say as I've heard anything bad about that issue... If I lived in Rainy England and the rest of the U.K., I can't say as I wouldn't want to stay lit either

but seriously, there could be so many reasons for the "issues"? Lack of proper mapping after installing can's? Idle set too low? Humidity?

Mine runs incredibly... and besides.. at 107db/idle... it pisses off the neighbor

Same here , Proper warm up ...no throttle until it is warmed up and its good

Well you got two choices here, Map the Air Fuel or just rev it up in the morning. I have the Bazzaz system and can say it is good. Will clean up these issues.

If it is only for road with normal fuel then you are good to go with the Bazzaz.

I should also look into getting the Bazzaz installed. Ive had my RC8 stall a few times while I was down shifting to slow to a stop.

Woodstock,

Fitting the Bazzaz is quite simple, I have done ot now on two RC8's and it gets easier the more you do it of course.

The Bazzaz instructions are quite good, all you have to do is find the electrical plugs they are talking about which isn't that difficult.
