jurstey Posted November 1, 2017 Share Posted November 1, 2017 I've got over 15,000 miles on my FJ-09 and have had the rotten egg smell since day 1. Haven't had any issues. Think it's just the cat doing its job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think it's just the cat doing its job Is it the cat doing its job (which is good) or the cat failing (which is bad)? I was looking online and the consensus seems to be that a bad smelling catalytic converter is a broken catalytic converter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smell seemed more pronounced after having 2wheeldynoworks reflash my ECU, which makes sense since it's now running richer than stock. I really only notice it when I come to a stop after going highway speeds for 10 minutes or longer. I don't smell it just running it in the driveway or garage. Either way, doesn't bother me any.

I purchased my bike used from a small dealer as an out of state trade-in/auction bike so i do not know the original owner. Now i am wondering if the ECU was ever re-flashed by the P.O. and if so is there a way to find out? However i would doubt it being that the miles were fairly low. 2019 Tracer 900 GT. 2022 MT-09SP. 2002 Buell S3T Thunderbolt. 2016 FJ-09 SOLD. 2019 XSR900 SOLD.

The egg smell was more pronounced after I had my ECU flashed, but it was definitely noticeable even before. Probably the only way to tell if your ECU was flashed would be to send it somewhere and have them check. But either way, I wouldn't worry about it. Ride and enjoy EMBRACE THE SULFUR!
