Please see thread "2007 Altitude Surging -- Members Wanted thread" post number 410 for my initial experience with the new (fixed) ECU for this issue.

Adventure Motorsports installed the new ECU to correct the altitude surging problem in my bike and I made an initial test run, so I thought I would report. First, what was conveyed to me by my dealer and service manager: 1. The replacement ECU has changes to the absolute pressure sensing...

Agirl, This might be a little duplication. You've probably already read in the "2007 Altitude Surging Problem.." thread started by TopHog, but if you haven't you might read post #78 in that thread where I describe my Pike's Peak ride earlier this year. Sounds like the same problem you're...

TopHog, I hear ya. Everyone has to draw their own line. I've got 37,000 miles on my 06 Stratoliner, riding it most of the time now, and it's running superbly (always has). Great cruiser. Problem is, I need a bike for my weekend stabs out into the middle of the West--Wyoming, Colorado...

I just got a call from Adventure. What they conveyed to me was that a Yamaha District Sales Rep in California owns a 07 FJR1300A that has been exhibiting the behavior we've been discussing. He (the bike owner) is currently working with a Yamaha Regional Service Rep to reproduce and isolate...

TruWrecks, I'm under the weather and behind at work. I can't make today or tomorrow. Maybe next week. What's the approximate travel time, say from north Seattle or Monroe, to as high as you can go on Baker? It looks like at least 4 hours? I'm contemplating a run up to Sunrise on Rainier...

Medium Al: Sorry I was unclear. Yes, you are correct that the symptoms presented on the 1st run when the bike was started at 55ft and ridden to 4061ft. They occurred again on the 5th run after the bike was shut off for 20 min at 900ft then ridden to the summit at 4061ft. You are correct they...

RE the 07 FJR1300 surge investigation at Adventure Motorsports last week: Unfortunately, we were unable to reproduce any of the reported surge effects while working with the service manager at Adventure and the Yamaha service representative. Here are the particulars (though I’m not sure any of...

I hadn't planned on posting today, but Chris (from Adventure Motorsports) called last night, so I went in and we discussed the problem again for about an hour. (If you just jumped to this post and don’t know what I’m talking about, see post #100) Wednesday’s results: Unfortunately, the first...

I dropped off my 07 FJR at Adventure last night and picked up my 06 Stratoliner (Hey Medium Al, I have nearly the same collection as you--06 Stratoliner S, 07 FJR1300A, but no blackbird). I told them to keep the FJR for a week, a month, two months, crate it up and send it to Japan if...

I don't know how Yamaha rep regions are divided, but if your rep. wants to have my bike for evaluation, I'd love to have them ride it. It's an 07 1300A with about 20,000miles, it has "the" problem. I'm in Monroe, WA. At this point, I just want to get to the bottom of this. It's a Yamaha...

RE: Octane ratings: This isn't THE issue. I live at essentially sea level (Monroe, WA). Here, unleaded regular, the lowest octane I can get, is 87. As you go up in altitude throughout the west, the major oil companies automatically reduce the octane ratings for each grade of fuel...

Sorry, I haven't quiet figured out the forum interface controls yet. I think I've inadvertently duplicated Ed Sorbo's post twice now. Sorry. I was trying to quote Ed Sorbo's post #30. That post is extremely annoying. My 07 FJR has an intermittent problem (surging, etc), which when it...

I'm probably violating protocol here, but I'm going to duplicate a posting I just made in "Sever stumbling at altitude" so that relevant information can be obtained from this thread. I've made a few changes in this re-post. I've have an 07 FJR1300 since Feb. and have put 20,000 miles on it...

What is the year of your bike, current mileage and city/state in which you live? 07 FJR1300ABS, 20,000 miles; Monroe, WA Has your bike surged at altitude? If so, have you noticed any pattern as to a particular altitude the surging occurs? Yes -- very often. I've experience the problem from...

I've have an 07 FJR1300 since Feb. and have put 20,000 miles on it. I've experienced many, many episodes of stumbling most of them associated with altitude changes. Recent example: During the Memorial Day 3-day holiday I rode from Seattle to Pikes Peak. I left work in the Seattle area about...
