Mike, I also see those status thingys flash occasionally, mostly s10 and s12, with the engine running but have no clue what they represent or mean. Initially I thought they corresponded to the items/codes listed on the page where you get/clear the codes but could not make a consistent correlation. I can tell you that they do flash (occasionally) when then engine is running perfectly so I wouldn't worry too much about it. Of course I love to know what they mean. One other thing you may want to check is to make sure the pins on the ECM are clean and corrosion free. I remember reading about someone having issues which were traced down to some minor corrosion on one of the ECM pins. |

latest update ... Pulled the Cam Position Sensor wires out from under under the starter , found the green wire "skinned" ...now I had already checked these wires with the multimeter end to end for continuity, but did not visually inspect the leads that wrapped under the starter. I lengthened the wire run a few inches so I could route the wires closer to the battery and not crushed under the starter. I had replaced the starter gasket last summer, that may be when the wires were crushed...getting the starter back in place without removing the exhaust is doable, but a tight squeeze ( maybe too tight on those wires) Rode the bike to work this morning, no pops or stumbles. I am not 100% confident just yet, but the ride home will reveal more |

Another 3 heat cycles and no backfires! I wish I could explain why a skinned wire on the cam position sensor would only effect ignition at certain times, but oh well. Also my lesson learned is that ecm spy, a multi meter and the service manual are all useful, but examining every inch of the wiring harness is required when chasing this kind of intermittent problem. |

Hey, if the skinned wire is close enough to a grounding point or another wire with a signal on it, that might explain the intermittent problem you were having. Anyhow, glad you got it sorted out, |

After twelve plus years of Tuber ownership,ya think I would have it all figgered out... the only issue is that with 10 plus years of no dealership visits, I can only blame myself for any problems! |
