Message: <blockquote data-quote="justacrossthehill" data-source="post: 1432562" data-attributes="member: 92816">Finally fixed my bike. In addition to what I mentioned that I did above, I also worked on a few ground spiders. Of the two at the left rear engine, one has the ground circuit going back to the ECU for the engine sensors. I really don't think I had a bad connection but if it wasn't that it must have been the additional frame ground I added there. I was looking at the print and saw all those grounds tied in together on the way to the ECU and got the idea that Yamaha may have intended for the ECU control the ground so I cut out the extra frame ground there and redid my crimp/solder job where that spider was. I wish I had just cut that ground and tried it before redoing the splice but didn't. Before I made that splice initially, I checked each wire and one had a solid ground on it so I figured another ground there could only be good but that may have been a mistake. Anyway after checking everything and finding nothing out of spec it's now running as it should or probably better than it was. At least my idle speed is correct now. I did everything possible to the throttle bodys and feel like they are spot on. Thanks for the suggestions and I followed every one to the letter.I've made my living working on things since 1977 and can't remember anything kicking my a$$ like this has. Part of it is my age I guess because my ole noggin doesn't function like it used to.Now at least, maybe I can ride this thing some.</blockquote>
