I would guess that is it. Air injection...It's an easy fix, but depending on where you live, it may have to be enabled when getting an emissions test, not to mention being out of compliance. More states are starting to use California type standards in emissions, which means sniffer tests. I am surprised that more bike manufacturers just don't make their bikes 50 state compliant. It would be easier that way.
