Hunting rpm

[Ulvetanna_imp]

IACV motor replaced and the issue went away without an ECU reset. While this is hopefully the fix that sticks, I will list the bike and see what I can get for it.

Motogeezer, still selling that XSR?

Only thing I can tell you about this is that any modern bike is going to exhibit technology-driven issues such as this one from time to time.

The bike is honestly not that exhilarating on the whole, it is heavy and slow and I can see if one was not that enamored of it, after this experience, cut it loose.

But these tech gremlins lurk in every brand, and more so in some than others.

So, if you actually do really like the bike, contemplate it for a time. Any equivalent retro-style replacement is much likely less-sorted than the CB1100, be it BMW, Triumph, or whomever.

Speaking of the Yamaha, terrible fueling on the triples. Terrible. Can it be endured? Perhaps. Maybe that's why the XSR is for sale, though, it if is.

I can say one thing, I never buy a motorcycle based on looks or the promise of some return to the past. Those design teams know how our nostalgic minds work and act accordingly. But the accountants cut pennies everywhere. The Yamaha triple is just such a bike, it promises so much: light, powerful, agile, and a bargain. But a cheap ECU and programming, mediocre chassis and suspension, and numerous other warts seriously betray it.

The CB1100 is no such bike, it's built cleanly and purely from a very pristine sheet of paper, in Honda's most advanced manufacturing facility. There are enough of them now to demonstrate excellent longevity and durability, and other than a few faulty batteries, there have been no real issues with the bike.

If this RPM issue has affected a few, there is a solution and it sounds like it's been effected.
