[QUOTE="Pete Bansen, post: 1289694, member: 20737"] I pulled everything off the battery and cleaned all of the connections very thoroughly the other day. They all looked clean, but I polished them with emery cloth and fine sandpaper, then reassembled. I get 14.3 volts running, 12.7 to 12.8 with the bike off, which I have found to be a good nominal voltage for a battery in good condition. The battery is a Motobatt AGM and is 2 1/2 years old, so it should be OK. I did a test ride and the bike was fine, so it may have been a minor electrical glitch (but I'm not banking on that). Called Yamaha and checked whether either of the TPS recalls had been done. They had not (Yamaha showed one TPS recall for this bike, BTW). I called the dealer in Reno and they will order the part and call me when they have it and can do the work, so hopefully that and the electrical clean-up will solve my problem. I'm going to have the valves checked and will probably replace the plugs and do a throttle-body sync at the same time, but right now my independent mechanic is just working on snowmobiles, so that may be a springtime project.
