CB1100 Idle speed instability problem

Nemo, sorry to hear this as one who suffered through this for 6 months and then traded in my '14 standard as a result. I find it interesting that it started right after a refuel, as mine did too. Had never happened before--I filled tank before heading home after an hour ride, and upon starting it up, idle shot up to 1500 and stayed there. Over the next few months, high idle, low idle, back an forth, eventually, low idle was more common.

I posted this before as a "summary" of the spreadsheet where owners describe the problem and "fixes":

What members have done:
1. throttle assembly replacement, under warranty (more than $3,000 if not under warranty). Problem solved.
2. One IACV replacement worked (under warranty, would have been $1,300), one didn't--I think this one was performed by the member
3. WOT riding...worked for some, didn't for others, temporarily "worked" for others
4. battery replacement seeme to "fix" for one member; others have disconnected battery, recharging, problem returned.
5. TPS reset; worked for some, not for others.
6. Wire at TPS connector was crimped? "Fixed" and problem went away (I'm not sure of the details).
7. EOT replaced, didn't work for a couple
8. EOT unplugged, problem goes away, but then comes back.
9. sea foam added, fuel injector cleaners; some say this cured issue, for other no
10. ECU reset; worked? for others didn't
11. TPS disconnect, clean
12. some just live with it?


SportsterDoc has a summary of "to do" list back on [url=http://cb1100forum.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=8120&pid=190507#pid190507]post #651

Good luck with it.
