Hello ppl,
Been having some idle issues for some time now: the bike starts nice and runs nice till the moment I need to decelerate. Once I start decelerating and get ready to stop the bike, the lower the speed, the lower the idle, like they are connected. Sometimes it drops so low that the bike stops - clutch down or not, does not matter what gear it is in when I come to decelerate, the idle drops to just above 500 rpm. Sometimes the engine dies or it wobbles for a couple of seconds at 500/550 rpm and then it gets up to the normal idle 850/900 rpm and it runs great again.
It does not matter if the engine is cold or hot, if it is winter or summer, it does not seem to be influenced by temperature. It does not matter if it is the first start of the day or the 10th.
Other than this issue, the bike runs great, accelerates nicely and smoothly, and has no problem.
Operations done so far - new spark plugs, new engine oil, new filter, tps recalibration, idle stepper sensor replaced... problem still there. On the tester, it shows no problems, looks like everything runs great.
Running out of options, any ideas, where to look, what do to...?
The bike is a '13 Rocket Roadster ABS.
