I wish we could find a common cause for this. So far the fixes have been all over the place. Some had actual failures (at least one IACV) and some cured the problem without really determining the failure (think Rico and the dealer changing out the throttle body), or even a software update for one member somewhere in Europe (Honda of America says there is no update).
As member’s bikes develop the problem, they don’t want to read 56 pages of comments (don’t blame them) and thus the same info, like the EOT affects idle, come out. Yes I know, it COULD be the problem that bike.
I have not read the 56 pages, either!
My first thought is a vacuum leak, but I do not know how likely that is on the CB. That can be checked by applying an unlit propane torch at possible areas and listen for a change in idle speed. Some folks like WD-40, but it is messy and some WD-40 is reported to have a non-volatile propellant.
If the EOT is a possible suspect, then we need:
1. Resistance and/or voltage values at various temperatures from the factory service manual.
2. Forum members with the issue to:
a. provide EOT resistance values.
b. provide voltage output values, both at EOT and at the ECU. If not familiar with a multimeter, guidance can be provided.
Sometimes the process can be prolonged, as in the case of this thread on which I was only of minor help: http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showt...wer+supply ...but it was solved.
There is a 300+ post thread that was fixed by cleaning a chassis/harness ground to the trans: [url=http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showthread.php?t=1891463&highlight=sportsterdoc&page=36]http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/showt...oc&page=36
Has anyone reported any codes associated with this issue?...guess I need to read the entire thread!
