Hi thewanman. Have not been on for a while and the first post I open is yours, and guess what same problem as you! After 3months stil have not found the problem! I am ready to push my pride and joy off a cliff.... The only fortune I did not have was that my lights did not blow. Spitting coughing and Backfire is the order of the day. Changed all the relevant sensors no change tps reset no change . New battery no change. Fuell pump seals and pressure cheked no change. Stator rewind only change is the problem whent from 2500 rpm to 1500 to 2000. But there was an improvement it happens less often now What gets me is the bike pulls strong as hell under acceleration but light throttle causes all the issues. My last resort is to have the ecu remapped to see if it goes away. Oh and for good measure i see oil from the front shock yesterday. Could one of you highly skilled guys give me a new direction? Please? Pretty please? Thewanman I hope your problem is solved.
Sorry had to vent...[mad]

Update from first ride... Holy crap what a difference a healthy charging system makes... One note to make, I did do a TPS reset before taking the bike out... The idea was the thing set for almost a week with no Battery while all this maintenance was performed.

Things to note... I decided while all this was going on and waiting parts, each time I had a few spare minutes from the 190 hours of work for the last 2 weeks, I spent some time reading all the wiring diagrams in my maintenance Book. I then checked damn near every wire on this bike. My multimeter got one hell of workout.

Parts that were replaced...
New Stator
New Voltage Regulator
New Alt
New Clutch.
New washers, nuts for Clutch
New Primary Chain Adjustment Shoe/Tensor
All new seals
Oil Change
I spent about 650.00 just in parts... Dealer quote for all this was over 1600.00..
The biggest plus was that I actually learned quite a bit...


A big thankyou goes out to all the folks on this forum...

Nice. I replaced the original bar and shield battery in my 2006 this February. Was surprised it lasted so long, especially since I don't use a tender and the bike has 48,000 miles.
