Sprint Help

Hi Herbos,
We need more information than that to help out with diagnosis or pointers !
What model age etc, service history if known ! I don't think we can say if the two problems are linked @ this stage, indicators flash too fast if the globe wattages are incorrect or there is a wiring fault ( short to earth ? ) the idle could be affected by 2 or 3 possible faults, model dependent! 1: vacuum leak. 2: electronics idle servo's 3: ECU has picked up a fault and is doing its best to keep everything on an even keel.

Model & age of bike will help ... !

 

The TPS can be reset, using a little program called "tuneecu" do a Google. There's plenty of info and help on the website !

I have used this program on my 99/00 sprint st and now my 08 America. There are also engine tune's/maps that may help.

Cheers Mick (capt)

 

If tuneboy has TPS reset yes, you need to take following precautions.
1 hook up battery chargers. Bike & Laptop, in case the download/hook up takes too long !
2 unplug fuse to headlights see above...
3 if you have a suitable map installed it GPS will reset automatic on restart
4. And most important, don't touch throttle on first start up tuneboy hooked up and running. Look for GPS reset light up and then switch off !

Should be sorted soon then, look @ tuneecu site. Read and get yourself ready!

 

Yeah that should work for you, GPS was my tablet. Android doing the usual predictive type setting, we were talking TPS weren't we ?
Taking the sensor of ?!?! That will require major effort and knowledge on resetting it manually. It is very sensitive to movements when undone and moved !!

 

Yes you can set TPS manually, but you require a good volt meter, doing it via ecu using tune boy or tuneecu is a bit easier as you are telling the ECU this is the new start point in throttle position.

 

Hi Herbos ,

Check the Vin number on your bike, look for the map that your vin number falls within, if more than one is listed choose the one that most closely matches your bike, ie pipe or airbox mods, download that one, open tuneecu and then open the map, connect to your bike, compare maps, installed if it has changes.

Simple really...

Silly question.perhaps but do the indicators flash fast all the time or just with clutch pressed? Could indicator be a relay fault? Had that on my doris last year as I've got aftermarket ones fitted.
Hope you sort her out.

 

Hi Herbos, don't forget to copy the map on your bike onto your stick or laptop so if you need to go back to it it's readily available.
