What fuel tuner did you use, and how did this correct the problem?


A similar thing happened to me tonight:

I was stuck in city traffic this evening in 85 degree weather.

While idling for a while at a light, my bike started to 'Chug' and run kind of rough.

I thought that this may have something to do with the Heat Management system, so I turned the throttle forward a few times, trying to engage/disengage the Heat Management icon on the dash.

The light changed green and I rode for ~2 miles before stopping.

When I stopped, I noticed the engine light was on, and that I could give the bike full throttle, but would only get minimal revs, barely more than idle RPM speed.

I shut the bike off, fired it back up, and everything was fine.

Could this lack of power have anything to do with the Heat Mgmt, Limp-home mode, etc?

I should also mention that I just did SE255 cams, and I'm running the TTS 'canned' map for this set up. Could this also be an issue?

Thanks

I have 2011 RG ultra with less than 9000 miles. First time I experienced idle limp mode caused me to drop bike as I was at stop sign on uphill grade. Dealer replaced wiring leads and ECM and declared it fixed. First time out it happened again. Dealer could not recreate problem so suggested I just see what happens. This is really pissing me off. Any suggestions.

Unplug the connector behind the air cleaner and under the seat to the ecm, apply die electric grease to the pins and re assemble.

YUP!

In fact apply die grease to every connector you can find. It will save you a bunch of head aches down the road. Every connector you see, every connector you can't see.

Also check the wiring harness from the throttle body behind the air cleaner and make sure it is not touching the engine.
