G'day all,
First chance I've had to ride the Multi properly in quite a few months. My 2013 MTS1200 is fitted with a Tuneboy QS / flashed etc. It had been working more or less fine, but today I noticed that at low RPM (3-5000) the throttle was randomly blipping or surging. I tried the other two maps and all three were doing the same thing. It started off infrequent, but after a while it got quite bad and was happening a lot. I noticed that it was very similar to the blip to that which occurs when you downshift with the QS. It has actually done this in the past, but only once in a blue moon. It's quite disconcerting mid corner
Anyway, today it got to the point that I had to troubleshoot on the side of the road, and as soon as I disconnected the QS it was 100% resolved. I haven't had a chance to look into it further but will need to have a dig with the multimeter and see what I can find in case it's continuity in the wiring. I had read somewhere that putting some penetrating lube down the rod of the actual shifter might help, but considering it's a strain gauge I wasn't sure that would make any difference (?). Anyway, long story short, I am wondering if anyone on here has any experience with a similar issue, or any hot ideas as to what I might be able to do to try and fix it? Quite an expensive component to replace unfortunately!
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Cheers all!
