Author Message   Mattmcc00 Posted on Tuesday, September 28, 2010 - 12:38 pm:        Seems to have issues again. Motorcycle sometimes has a rough idle when waiting at street lights. RPM jumps around between 500 and 1000, it even stalled once. Doesn't happen often, maybe one every 2 days. Also, sometimes it suddenly runs out of power for a split second, it feels as if I had slammed down on the rear brake with my heel for a split second. weird????   Yamafreak Posted on Tuesday, September 28, 2010 - 06:08 pm:        I think they all run like that some time's. But if you get the race ECM all that should go away. So They say.   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 08:11 am:        Sounds like time to force a TPS reset. Do it with the engine HOT, then ride steady-speed for 15 minutes or so (slab it) so the AFV can re-learn.   Mattmcc00 Posted on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 11:07 am:        hmmm... TPS re-set... not sure on account of my Uly being a 2008. I believe 2008s do not need TPS resets. Also, this morning I had my old friend return, mr."when I turn the key all I hear are clack, clak, clak, sounds but no engine starting" then move the bike around a little and then it starts.   Slowride Posted on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 11:35 am:        Check your wire loom on the right side of the bike as you look at it from the front. The loom comes out from under the frame up to the fairing area. When it goes clack clack clack, don't move the bike but grab the loom and move it around at that point. You can also start the bike and move the loom around and if there is a short sometimes you can get the bike to sputter or die all together. There seems to be a short that will develop in the loom in that area from time to time.   Xbimmer Posted on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 11:40 am:        Sounds like a grounding issue...   Mattmcc00 Posted on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 02:37 pm:        i will try fiddling with the loom. I have found my main ground was a little loose about 1000km ago (i tightened it at that point).   Froggy Posted on Wednesday, September 29, 2010 - 03:36 pm:        quote: I believe 2008s do not need TPS resets. Wrong, but your IAC is my suspect. Let the bike idle for 10 minutes and see if affects it. It may need to be cleaned or replaced.   Mattmcc00 Posted on Thursday, September 30, 2010 - 10:55 am:        ok well, good call on the loom, I think... Bike did the clak, clak, clicking sound when i pushed the starter again last night.... fiddled with the loom as I thumbed the starter and she clicked then started. IAC u say.
