First of all before any of this happened i installed new Mivv cans. Bike sounds loud as hell but ran a bit rough. Soooo as a place holder for a proper dyno tune i uploaded the US version of the smooth akra map for 07-08 with Tune ECU. Ran great the first day, as i would expect it to after the new mod, but pretty rich i noticed.
The next day however it started acting up. Riding back from the local cycle gear yesterday with my GF on the back i started to have problems with the bike.I got there completely fine with no issues. Bike was thoroughly warmed up and it was a pretty warm day around 65F. Pull up to leave the parking lot in first gear and as i slow down and engage clutch to stop the bike dies instantly. Starts back up fine, GF gives me a worried look and off we go. Down the hill to the first stoplight. Downshift into first as i slow down and bike instantly dies again while still rolling. After restarting again i notice idle is running a bit low at the light, however it seems to eventually climb back up to normal and has no problem.
Happens several more times on the way home, however starts up each time. Let it sit in the garage for a good hour and a half before heading out for a short night ride. During the night the bike rides just fine, no sign of low idle or bike dying. And so i figure its good to ride to work the next day. Ride it to work for the next 4 days with no problems at all. Today i was going to go hit Bouquet canyon for a quick blast but needed to fuel up first. Bike runs fine all the way to the fuel station about 5 miles away. After fueling i pull out of the gas station and up to the stop sign and the problems start again. Bike dying when slowing down with low idle.
My first thought was the side stand switch was mucking up. So ill start cleaning that up and try to see if the connector is fooked or loose. However i am a bit skeptical because of the low idle problem. I feel like its dying when i come to a stop because the idle dips too low and the bike cuts off. When restarting it runs, while in first with clutch engaged, and in neutral side stand down. Shifts fine into first from a neutral restart but not when slowing down. Dies almost instantly as i engage clutch when rolling to a stop. Like i said im going to start with checking out kickstand switch. Any other ideas or suggestions? Maybe if the sidestand is A-OK ill try reloading OEM map and if all else fails re-install the stock exhaust (please no ). The bike is running quite rich, but i have gathered that it is normal for the Akra map.
