no issues this weekend other than ride home my EGT gage kept alarming at 1200+  and my foot and load was not agreeing.  backed off on hills just in case but even on flat ground grade or even coast it was still reading 1050+  doesnt make sence

landed home after 3-5minute cool was reading 800 still..... normally runs down to 350-400 in a few minutes at adle. 

ill check tomorrow what ambient reads 60 or like 360 and just order another gage.


new in 2023 gage bah

Would be hard for a high pressure injector to stick enough to cause that for real while still holding rail pressure wouldn’t it?
