Hi , new to the group but been building bikes for many year and just stuck on a 1994 K1100LT 16v.

need some help from the brains trust if possible, Cheers

the bike is Aussie delivered, 170000km on the engine but mechanically A1.

running new bosch fuel pump and filter, pressure reg working and have 36psi fuel pressure.
new EV16 4 nozzle injectors that flow 120cc as per the OEM injectors.
new engine coolant dual sensor, TPS set, ECM checked for faults history (engine temp sensor), TPS set via test box.

bike is running very rich at idle on our dyno using 4.9v wide band o2 sensor probes, blk plugs and exhaust.
I have balanced throttle bodies via air bleed screws and the O2 trim pot has no effect to mixture.

bike is a custom build running pod filters and the air temp sensor is located against a pod filter.
electrics still run the temp and charge globes, temp light comes on with key on and goes out when engine starts.
bike temp is good running a bsk alloy radiator.

I am totally stumped as to why this engine runs very rich at idle?

Your Brick's air intake characteristics have been changed by your modification. Posting a photo of the air temp sensor location might help me understand the setup. I'd want the air temp sensor probe enclosed within an air intake duct—as originally engineered—rather than located somewhere along an intake inlet filter's perimeter. Investigating differing air temp sensor locations might be enlightening. 

In the interest of disclosure, I'm not a full member of the brain trust here but a rather small part of its limbic system. Smile

Air temp probe is my first suspect for that reason.

Second is to be sure the temp sensor is correct and not fitted on ptfe tape. Make sure its not a 2v one as they are physically same but are not interchangeable.
