Author Message   North_of_55 Posted on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - 08:32 am:        Okay, so I've changed the plugs, checked the compression, checked the plug wires, installed a new EBR ECM... still the bike pops, sputters and sometimes stalls when starting from a stop! I have to rev it up a little to get rolling, then it bogs a little until the revs get up, then it pulls like a freight train. Picking up new intake seals today... probably won't have time to install them for a while... Has anyone had similar problems? I love my bike but I am getting a little tired of it running like this!?!   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - 10:33 am:        Have you done a proper tps reset?   North_of_55 Posted on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - 10:41 am:        It's an '08... I've done 20 TPS resets! I am also planning to check/clean the IAC when I do the instake seals.

TPS reset is very important and will not be accurate if the plate cannot close all of the way.   Uly_man Posted on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - 03:19 pm:        "I love my bike but I am getting a little tired of it running like this!?!". Yep I know THAT feeling. Stick with it though as all can be fixed in the end. Sounds a bit like a damaged wire, plugs, plug leads. Like something moving about, maybe? I would check that sort of stuff first.   Uly_dude Posted on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - 07:30 pm:        make sure your seat pan isn't coming into contact with your ECM connectors to.   Sharkguy Posted on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - 08:08 pm:        Make sure all your ground points are cleaned and tight.   Bpt Posted on Wednesday, May 08, 2013 - 08:12 pm:        08 model make sure to check the ground off the battery to the frame. Take off, sand contact on frame and connector and use a star washer.   Buellmeister57 Posted on Thursday, May 09, 2013 - 07:18 pm:        I was having the same symptoms on my 09. Installed EBR ecm, O2 sensor, TPS and cleaned the IAC. (It was pretty dirty). It still wasn't running right. Ordered a new IAC ($169) . It's running great now.   North_of_55 Posted on Wednesday, May 15, 2013 - 07:12 am:        So I changed my intake seals last night... I figured it was worth a shot! $9 and a few hours would be insignificant if it improves the way my bike runs! Finished at 1am... I was exhausted. I started it to make sure I got everything back together properly. The idle actually sounds different! I let it idle for a couple of minutes then went a few hundred feet down the road. Felt like low end throttle response was better (it used to almost bog at low RPM). I also cleaned some grounds while I was at it... So I can't say for sure what made the difference. Hopefully tonight I'll get the fork seals and bushings changed so I can take it for a ride and see for sure! On a side note: My IAC was spotless.
