There is no ThermAC system on an '87 duke. There is an Intake Air Temperature sensor instead.

Check for trouble codes.

A failing Intake Air Temperature and/or Coolant Temperature Sensor could both affect engine performance, as it's possible the engine is running too lean when cold.

A failing fuel pump can also lead to a lean condition, as can a leaking "rubber" hose in the gas tank. Testing the fuel pressure would be a good idea.

Although this was for my '84 duke, much of it still applies to an '87... Tried three different MAP sensors, but 2.5 engine still bogs badly when accelerated





I had no idea! Good to know...
