My 2005 XC 700 the dec light will flash when you really hammer on it, But it only will do it 1 out of 25 times you really get on it. I have premium gas in it and it is fresh. Cleaned the exhaust valves. I did switch the plugs from factory champion to ngk BPR 9 es this is what the dealer told me to run. Could it be the plugs? Or what do you people think?

should run champions but thats probably not going to change it.todays gas is terrible with the ethanol try putting some star tron in your tank see if that helps but 1 out of 25 times is pretty good some sleds do it almost everytime you hold it wide open.but i would put it to bad gas does it do it when your key is on reg or prem.try running it on reg see what happens.

2005 xc 700

it seems to not do it as much when you have the switch in the regular setting

try a blend of 110 and 93.. thats what i have to do with mine... winter gas sucks!!!

 

[123BEDTKE]

thank you for the help i will try that

 

[05xcsp700]

just try that along with the prem setting.. thats what worked for me.. its just spark knock.. it scared the crap out of me the first time it came on.. and it did it for a few rides until i figured out what it was.. i thought i was melting it down. haha
