Good evening ladies and gentlemen. Bike problems


Experienced some strange behavior from Betty for about a month ago. It refused to start, worked perfectly the night before. The starter did not draw around properly and the display showed for a moment "SOFT32", "DAT 101",

It Refused to Start Despite Using jumper cables, They May Have Been Slightly rusty but who knows. I began to Suspect the battery, starter motor, but everything seemed to work / look / even smell as normal.

After some very long runs of running with it to push the bike up to speed and get it started, it finally did. The strange thing was That The Idle was around 3000 rev / min. Very strange, Took a short spin and noted thats it still remained at 3000 rev / min.

I took an aggressive spin around the neighboorhood for about 30 minutes and when i got back home with it was idling at normal levels. The bike has worked perfectly for about a month now, until today.
Took it to work and was out, driving at lunch, with no worries.

When I went home this afternoon, the idle rpm was back to about 2700 rpm. I stopped in the town for an hour or two, did some shopping. When I went home the idle rpm was style at almost 3000 rpm and still is. Tried to kill the ignition a couple of times, stopped on the road and stopped and started it but still the same story.

Coolant, clutch fluid, and oil is at normal levels.
The battery works great. This is the second time the problem occurs
Runs with Akrapovic's own fuel map and fitted with a pair of Akra Titanium Cans, the round ones without the baffles.

Grateful for ideas if you have any.
