Recently returned from a loooooong deployment overseas. Took my bike in to get a new registration and was informed that I need an emissions test...bum deal, emissions test for a bike? ...Phoenix, AZ.
I failed the test and am looking for some insight to getting a passing grade.
I have a 97 1200 Sportster, it only has 2400 miles, however it was in the garage forever while I was deployed. I had to take the carb off and clean it up before the bike would even run. I installed new plugs, changed the oil/filter and put premium gas in before the test.
I see some people recommended running the bike hard before the test...however that's tough when there is an hour wait in line for my turn at the stall. I also was advised to put a bottle of rubbing alcohol in the tank.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Much!
