    Hi there guys, my partner has a 2019 Slim. All was good with it until we had a Heavy Breather fitted (with tune). Rode fine on the way home, started her up again this morning and the revs are hanging at 2500-3000! Give the throttle a blip and the revs goe down slowly to 1050ish.

    I'm thinking either an air leak or a problem with the tune?

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Update: problem was air leaks caused by twisted seals further in. This probably occurred at the factory. new seals properly installed, problem solved.

    Usually manifold leaks are created when the backing plate is removed or replaced to fit a different air cleaner and not enough care is taken to not put pressure on the seals during reassembly, not saying that's what it was in this case just that it does happen, often.

    Manifold leaks can also occur because of the poxy plastic design. I have had six customers let down now. Had one go on the dyno with 57kms on the Speedo. Buy an alloy manifold to solve the issue long term.

    Yeah just follow manual

    Very simple, backing plate has to be on prior to doing up manifold clamps, use Vaseline

    Isn't that a shit design! Be the first thing I'd piss off on an M8

    Plastic can be a really usefull product but any way can avoid utilising it I'll go something else, the shitty stuff. Vaselin or vass,  petroleum jelly is good shit to have on hand. Always got a tube of KY or jar of vass in tool box. Mesmer good stuff ya sorted.
    Thanks for tips blokes.
