Been a while since I've posted, and this is the first issue I've had with my bike since I got it. I have a 2008 FJR ABS California version that had me scratching my head the other day. Rode to Hanford,about 25 minutes away, stopped for about 45 minutes to take care of some business. Went out to start the bike to come home and it wouldn't start unless I whacked the throttle a couple of times while cranking it over. It finally started but obviously didn't run well-kinda weird, when I revved it up a bit and let the throttle go, it didn't drop right back to idle, almost like it was stuck open-same when I was shifting, pull the clutch to shift and the revs stayed high momentarily. The other weird thing I noticed is the turn signals were flashing twice as fast as normal. Of course, by the time I got home, it had cleared itself and was running smooth as glass like always. Ran through the diagnostic screens when I got home and everything checked out except for showing a fault code 22 in the history, intake air temp sensor open or short detected. Cleared the history to see if the same thing would trip again the next time I rode it, and of course, it purred like a kitten for two more rides. This last time, all was well until about two blocks from home when it felt like it was surging or hesitating during deceleration-it just didn't feel right. This time, however, I noticed that the ABS light was flickering and when I tried to pull away from the stoplight it died, but restarted again without problem. Got home and reran the diagnostics, but everything was as it should be, and no fault codes in the history.
