I posted a while back that my Uly was running poorly. It wouldn't run smoothly from 3-4k RPM, and forget about anything below 3k. It was intermittent. It would run fine all day and then all of a sudden it would start this nonsense, and it felt like riding a jackhammer. It would not pull smoothly. It wasn't like surging, it was as if I was running on one cylinder. No trouble codes or anything.  So yesterday I took the seat off and saw that the seat pan was rubbing on the ECM and the rearmost connector on the ECM. I also saw that one of the wires on the ECM (orange/black = rear cyclinder I believe) was wearing through against one of the other wires. I wrapped a little tape around the chafed area, and I used a few rubber bushings that I dust taped to the rear bolt on the ECM bracket. I also duct taped a rubber bushing on top of the ECM. The point was to prevent the seat from putting pressure on the connector and possibly displacing it. So I did about 200 miles today, and while this is hardly scientific, the bike ran great. The bike also seemed to run cooler. I'll be leaving on Thursday and doing about 1000 miles over a few days. We'll see if the bike continues to run good. | ||

Get the spacer. Hold on, I'll find a link to it. | ||

That would be great, thanks | ||

If you cannot get a spacer soon enough, and you have one on the front bolt, just move it to the back bolt until you can get another one. Sounds like some wire problems I have seen. I hope that gets you fixed and back to permagrin! | ||
