i've got this intermittent problem on my superduke r where the idle RPM would go crazy and idle at 3-4k RPM...i've did the 15 minute reset procedure and still the problem persist. it doesnt happen regularly but the chances of it happening is higher if the engine is hot after some 20-30 minutes ride. must be electrical stuff..can you guys help me narrow down the cause? all the lights, fuel pump is functioning just fine. fuse all checked. could be dying battery, broken rectifier, corroded electrical connection?
the bike mileage now is 3869km..age is around 13months. bike is fully stock and still under warranty.
[UPDATE]
ask my KTM dealer to use his KTM magic box to diagnose the electronic problem..got one trouble code which if i'm not mistaken is "Rollover input signal too high". not that i know what it means though..even the dealer is scratching his head. he did the ECU reset and now the bike seems ok. the idle even when the problem doesnt kick in is around 1.6k RPM..last time around it was 1.9K..i wont want to jinx the bike by saying the problem is fix yet..still plenty of testing need to be done
[UPDATE]
Cleaning and blowing the moisture out of the BGC "Big Grey Connector" does the trick. the idle is no longer surging and it even felt much smoother now. that could be caused by the ECU reset or Liqui Moly Injector Cleaner...aparently moisture in BGC is known to cause all sort of intermittent weird electronic problem..
[UPDATE 17/07/2013]
Problem is reappearing. foook cleaned and dry and grease the hell out of that BGC multiple time but still same issue. connected a voltage tester on the battery terminal during idle it read 12.43V on engine idle it read 14.04V..seems ok to me. any more possible cause here guys?
