| Description of the problem | Motorcycle has set codes from the day i picked it up from dealer. Sets twist grip codes p2127 & 2138. Would clear codes and they would return every few rides for the first 500 miles and then the bike started accelerating on it's own in any gear or speed. The local dealer was not able or willing to look at it in a timely manner. Checked out all connections for the throttle sensor my self. Didn't find any obvious problems. Applied computer connection stabalent to the ecm connector and problem was gone for 1000 miles. Bike started accelerating by it's self again and then set the check eng. Light. Sometimes a slight aceleration and other times it would accell hard. Was 55 miles from home this last time. The local dealer closed so am now taking it 25 miles to the dealer. |
