Good luck, Dave. I will be off-line tomorrow (going to Laughlin, via Kingman and Oatman) but will log-on as soon as I get home, as I am anxious to know of your progress.
Thank you Doc. I do not believe our bikes have a travel limit sensor switch, so your second option of measuring the current is probably how Honda does it. Maybe my valve got stuck at one time and this caused a higher than normal current flow that somehow disrupted the calibration (if there is a calibration) between the valve and the ECM?
I believe the FSM states to coat the valve with engine oil before installing it. What do you think about a very lite coat of grease? Would the grease potentially cause too much friction?
