Trouble shooting help!

[Noeboo]

Yeah I'm thinking most of the sensors and wiring will get replaced this winter. None of it has apparent problem spots but it all looks pretty old and worn. I'm just trying to get another two months out it before I tear it apart. We'll see, I'll keep you guys informed.

Oh I've had the bike for three and a half years no and my skins held up just fine. Most riders great me with open arms. Except one lol,,,,,,,,, he's an old grump tho.

Seeing you have ECMSpy, run a datalog during warmup; crappy idle is fine since we're watching engine temperature. Open the log in MLV and look at what your ETS/CLT values are. You're looking to see if it's a steady change; if erratic or jumping, your sensor is shot.

Visibly you can't tell the difference between a bad and good ETS, you can only get an idea from datalogging and replacement is the best test.

Ok, I'm ordering the intake seals now. Once I replace those I will then attempt to do some data logging. I'm hoping the intake seals will hold me over a month so I can get some more riding in before winter. Thanks for the advice

Here's a how-to for doing it without rotating the engine.
