Pulled off 2008 - TPS, manifold pressure sensor, temperature sensor. Assume they're good since replacing them did not solve problem. Might help if you are down to component replacement for troubleshooting. Pay shipping. I will look for your PM.

I just got through the FSS. Donal pointed me to this thread. Thanks to Donal, and the rest for documenting this and the cure.

Donal - It looks as if you had it pegged. It was the fast starter syndrome. I cranked it with WOT. Eventually it started, coughed and sputtered. Finally things settled in and it ran fine. Kept it running through a couple of cooling fan cycles, then shut it off. I let it cool off to 45 F or...

Sorry everyone for duplicating the post. Hopefully an administrator will delete my mistake. Itchy trigger finger. @radiummadman - the 2008 VIN is outside the the service bulletin range. It was a hope. @bluesdog - no I did not try the Barbarian jumper mod. I probably won't since I have the...

I bought a 2008 with just over 15,000 miles, currently it has 16,800 miles. Shortly after getting it, the bike would die just coming off idle @ 3 - 4 bars on temp gauge. Other conditions: 6000 - 8000 ft elevation; ambient temperature 50 - 80 F; cold idle at 1500 rpm; idle would drop to 950 -...

Dave, I got my covers in the mail Thursday; had them on that night. Great fit, pieces look good, and it's a lot easier doing a TBS. Thanks for the quality and fantastic service. Bob

Dave - I just sent money through Pay Pal. I'm looking forward to getting the plates installed. Thank, Bob
