[QUOTE="Fabone, post: 132140, member: 411"] Sorted out.....well...still not 100% sure! It seems to be running OK for now, but I've not had it out on the road since my last incident. Spent 3 days off and on under the hood testing/checking codes and still could not find the culprit causing the problem. The only thing I found was the Throttle angle was off 5 points fully closed. It acted as if it was loading up and died. Instantly quick like, just like you hit the kill switch. I still have a difficult time believing the throttle angle was causing the problem, since it was running fine before. All I can say is, that this can put someone in a dangerous position faster than you can blink. Not good! The TPS would be replaced (free) under warranty assuming you're covered. In my case, the engine died the second time a 1/3 of the way into a slow turn-around with the bike leaned, leaving me dead in the water. Lets see....there's T-cover, stator cover, mirror, case lid, turn signal light and a trashed MOKO. The cost of a screwy out of adjustment TPS..........($500)....PRICELESS! After going thru 2 TPS within 6k, I'd threatened to sell the bike. Only to replace the FJR with what? Hopefully everything now is good to go. The wife reminds me, that now I have a good reason for that custom paint job, I've always wanted. I now have another winter project. :construction: As an aside, I must say I'm really disappointed in the MOKO protection factor. Placement is to high and too short. I'll be doing something different in this area for sure. [/QUOTE]
