My 2012 Voyager 1700

Post by HMB Don »

Just turned over 177,000 miles on the ODO. It still looks and runs great, did a 150 mile ride today and averaged 47.13 mpg. We stayed in upstate New York. The picture was taken with lake Champlain in the background.

My '99 VXII has just under 85,000 :rolling: :laughing:
Yeh,work interferes with riding,especially during harvest season.
We are currently working 6 13-14 hour days trying to get the corn in with good quality,but we did get a nice 160 mile ride in this afternoon :thmup:
Bravo on getting that many miles on your 1700 that quickly.

Hey Don, I don't know if you remember me or not. I'm ohiojack from Clyde, Ohio. I ran into a problem with my 2011 Voyager. When running for most of the day, well warmed up the idle sticks at 2500 to 3000 , won' t go down unless you turn it off and let it sit for a half a hour and cool down. Let me know of any ideas. ohiojack

Try cleaning the throttle body behind the throttle plates with sea foam. Pay special attention to the areas around the throttle shaft. Try to flush the shaft areas with the sea foam.

If there is a lot of build up behind the throttle plates, use a tooth brush to help with the cleaning. Don't use anything that would scratch the aluminum bore. Don't use a wire brush or screw driver to remove the carbon buildup. :thmup: :thmup:
