We had some problems on Saturday...
Let me back up. My buddie bought this machine last fall. Took delivery and waited for this spring. Right off the bat he had some issues. Engine light on then off. Hard to shift, idle issues hi then lo to stalling. Took it back to dealer. They said map senser. Ordered new one. Installed and delivered back to my friend. By the end of our ride last month the problem
Resurfaced then went away. Started again as we approached camp Friday. Sat am we had to return because the machine will
Not idle.
OK spent about three hours pulling plastics
Off. Got to the senders and sensers and fuel tank. We noticed fuel pump/ junction on right side of tank loose. It only screws into plastic. Well under it we found a ground wire.
We pulled the map/ Tbap and to senser sand cleaned them. We traced som
Wires out and found that this ground is the problem. It gets/ gives intermittent ground. BIG PROBLEM FOR ELECTRONICS!
We made a better ground, the problem
Is GONE! We put over 100 miles on Sunday with zero issues. I'm betting there was no problem back when it went to dealer!
So heads up, look here before you pull your hair out. Check and fix this problem!
Its a pain pulling the front plastic. But an easy fix once off. Make a better ground. We used but and bolt to frame but more better ground is better.
