Just curious...anyone have any issues with the bikes at high altitude? Going to be hitting 7000+ feet in a few weeks (Crater Lake, OR). My old ST1100 would loose a bit of punch up there. I know she will run, but just wondering.

I've gone to over 9,000ft and there was no noticeable difference. I weigh 230lb side cases and stuff in the frunk was at least another 30lb. That was riding twisties at 45mph or so and no level ground. The climb from 6.5 or 7k up to 9k was pretty steep and the NC chugged along greatJust curious...anyone have any issues with the bikes at high altitude?

The MAP sensor will reset the fuel mapping when the key is cycled at altitude.
Cycling the key below 3,300 feet will reset to the lower level.
The computer is not smart enough to know when one transitions these elevation changes.
Have to throw the BS flag on this one. ^^^^^^^^
If this was true the bike would run like crap as you climbed a mountain or descended into Death Valley. Fuel control would be effected and failed emissions and the catalyst would be toasted if the system went rich.
While the NC sytem is not super smart compared to some automotive systems it is smart enough to maintain full fuel control from below sea level to 14,000 feet with no rider intervention.
