Ignition Replaced Now Bad Miss


Thanks, All grounds on this bike were checked a couple of weeks ago before deciding to replace ignition switch.
 
Thanks, rocket51. Before the mechanic replaced the ignition switch the bike was running perfectly (except for the occasional failure to start). After the ignition was replaced as I was driving home from that shop the bad miss first began. It could be an amazing coincidence that something unrelated to the switch replacement caused the miss to begin then but I'm not ready to look elsewhere yet.
 
Ok take the engine out and ship it to me for parts. Put a new one in. Problem solved!!!!!!!!!!!

Hope you take this as the light humor it was meant to be ?
 
I had a switch replaced on a cruise control on a vehicle. The dealership monkeyed around with it for sometime. It did not fix the problem.

I finally took the vehicle to the dealer where I bought it. They went through everything and decided it had to be the replacement switch. They replaced the switch again, and problem solved.

Possibly removing the switch, and testing it with an ohmmeter for continuity. Try tapping on the switch with a plastic screwdriver handle to induce a short.

Oxidation on connections?

Check battery voltage. Pull seat off and check after starting. Sometimes, a failed cell which is shorting out can fluctuate voltage and hose up electronics.
 
The problem turned out to be a dirty fuel filter and/or the airbox was not tightly seated on 2 of the throttle bodies. Both were fixed before it was ridden again so I can't be sure the part played by each of those problems. Now, it's running great again!
 

Glad to hear you got it sorted ! My bet was the crappy fuel filter.
 


i would think that u could take the air system off and it would run fine until something went in the barrels.

Would the effect be different if the airbox was taken completely off versus leaking air around its fitting on the throttle body? I don't know--just asking.
