| Description of the problem | After work i started the engine and allowed it to warm up while i put on my protective riding gear (jacket, helmet, and gloves). The engine was running normally as i rode to the end of the parking lot slowly and stopped at the end of the lane. I began to turn to the right, releasing the clutch and rolling on the throttle while leaning when the engine suddenly lost all power resulting in a crash. After picking the bike up and resetting the ignition, it ran very roughly (as if running on one cylinder) and stalled. I tried running the engine several times working the throttle to keep the engine running, without throttle input the engine would surge and stall. I let it sit for approximately 30 minutes, but it still ran roughly and stalled. After trailering the bike home, i tried again but had the same problem. After reading the 1130cc. Com forum, i removed power from the ecm to force a reset. The reset seems to have worked since the idle is smoother and throttle response better. However, i haven't taken it for a road test yet. Historically, the vrod would have some slight hesitation first thing in the morning when cold. This was reported to the dealership, but i was told that it was due to the fuel map being lean for emissions reasons. This should not occur with a fuel injected engine and indicates that the map is not correct (my car and truck don't have this issue). However, this ecm issue is entirely different and much more severe. |
