    Runs rough when cold

    So I've kind of accepted it over the years that my 86 hiccups and spits when cold and just warm it up before ridding or run a little while with choke on. What's the consensus on what the issue is ive heard it's a common issue. Thank you. Edit runs not rubs lol. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    86 on board compressor ?

    Wondering if an onboard compressor was standard equipment on all 86's or just select models? I've been looking for where it might be and how to activate it but pretty sure this one doesn't have one. Any pics or description is appreciated. On the same note how much pressure are you running in...

    The thing about the K&N air filter is that foam ring that goes at the bottom doesn't seal properly and there is an air leak. When I get it right its fine but its a pain and the there is the whole oiling thing. I know it sounds silly but is prefer disposable. Still not sure where to get one...

    Cheapcycleparts was recommended but noticed air filter was $32 plus shipping does this sound right and where do you get filters and such? I'm going back to OEM filter don't like the fit of the K&N and trying to rule out everything contributing to my low idle stutter.

    I referenced a Wix oil filter today, I know they make good stuff so I think that's what I'll do in that department.

    update: I took the air filter off and it has a K&N, it looked like air was leaking in around the bottom where there was some greasy buildup so i cleaned the area and re-installed. I really don't think I like the setup and gonna go back to OEM. The K&N has some kind of sponge gasket that sits at...

    Thank you, I've never wanted to get through a couple tanks of fuel so fast. Happy it's cooled down here and the moon is full. I'll keep you posted.

    Well in my haste I went to my stash and added 8 oz. of ATF to a full tank. As I was riding it dawned on me my Ams ATF is synthetic. We'll see how it responds- no real difference in my 30 mile ride so I'll try to ride the current tank out ASAP to see if this issue will settle down. Any petro...

    Picked up a cherry 86 GL Interstate last week with 38k. This bike has been garage kept and well maintained. The fellow I bought it from only sold it since he has 4 other bikes including a 2001 wing and doesn't ride this one enough and felt it needed a new home. My primary issue is one of it...
