HELP!!!! I WAS RIDING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN MY BIKE BOGGED DOWN AND STARTED ACTING LIKE IT WAS OUT OF GAS THEN IT KICKED IN AND GAVE ME FULL THROTTLE WITH ME BARLEY MOVING THE GAS! ANY IDEA?

This has been happening to me lately.Same thing just bogs down then keeps going.But lately it's getting worse.
The only thing that has happened and got me wondering was that I tipped my bike over while running and the thing didn't turn off.I thought the tip over sensor was suppose to shut it off?Do you think it might be a bad sensor?
Nothing else shuts off just loss of throttle!

Mine is an 06 with a little over 38,000 miles on her.I just put a new tip over sensor in it and still the same.I'm going to ckeck all the connections next.
The only other thing I'm going to add is that sometimes after I get done refueling and turn the bike on to start it that little red lite on the dash flashes and won't let the bike start.It's done that to me a few times also.I just turn the key off and on a few times and it starts no problem!I don't know if these are linked too?

Full Muzzy exhuast,PCIII with custom map,K&N air filter,GiPro with atre,Marchesini wheels,custom green guages,aux fuse box hooked with heated grips,Garmin gps,radar dector and screamer.Also have an aux radiator fan too hooked to a relay off the original!!!!!
And the red lite comes on when you hold the "mode" button down when it say "Fuel empty"!!!

Everytime it has come on is after I've refueled and went to resart the bike.No FI error comes on just the red lite flashes when I'm turning it over!

Fuel pump"" The stock pump is not all that great [for racing that is] so with the mileage you have on your bike it may be week? If yes and you replace? go with the 08 up pump, they seem to do a little better ! However yours has gone a long while in my book. .................Bill

Well I guess I'll go with the fuel pupm right now?

By all means check the codes if the light is flashing ! I was under the impression you had no codes. I m with hub on this one'' test first replace after you diag, the problem. You can throw some serious money away chasing parts on these bikes. This money you can use for up grades later.

O.k. it happened again last nite.But this time I just pulled over.Well I had full power,dash was on.I put the bike in nuetral and hit the satrter button,nothing!!I turn the key off and do it again,nothing!I held the mode and reset button to see if a code would pop up,nothing.Well thank god I was on a incline cuz I had to bump start it.Started up after a few tries,then I pulled out of the way and left it running a few minutes.I turn it off then turn back on........no problem!!!WTF
I got home last nite cleaned the kickstand switch(gunky on the outside but clean on the inside)Checked all my connections on the left side and the wiring,good!Any ideals

There was no light on.

I installed a seppart relay for the fan with a wire from the battery as power and wired the relay into the fan connector as the on/off.The bike was warm enough to run the fans when it wouldn't start.Plus I did this before my 4200 mile trip in May and the only problem was when I fueled up in Cali and that red light came on then just once.And before that I didn't have the fan hooked up and it did it a few times before that!

Checked that.Looks good!This might be a long thread!

Get'n the dealership to Kawi.See if they got anything?

Do you might think it would be the kill switch on the right habdle bar?I'm going to pull it off and check it!

Nothing like going to pass a vehicle and halfway around it dies!!!!!

Did it again coming home Sunday passing a motorcycle.Had it die when I rolled up to a stop lite,started up just fine.Goin up to Billings Friday nite I noticed it was getting 10miles per gallon less going up???It was fine coming home Sunday???I did a few tests Sunday afternoon on the Tipover sensor and checked wiring routing.All good.

Yay,let the tedious testing begin

Aftermaket advancer?Is it on the left side of the engine?

Does Kawi have a way to hook into the ecu and download stuff?

HEY HUB I CHECKED ALL MY WIREING AND PUT A NEW BATTERY AND AIR FILTER JUST BECAUSE IT WAS TIME FOR THOSE TWO TO BE DONE. I AM STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM OF NOT GOING OVER 3500 RPMS. DO YOU KNOW OF A WEB SITE I CAN DOWNLOAD A FREE SERVICE MANUAL ??

^^Just mention that on the General forum and you will probably get a hundred of them...along with 5 or 6 naughty, naughties.

You are on one. Click here. -bg

Well hooked it up to the computer and.....nothing!I've put an aditional 500+ miles on it with no problems now(39,000+ miles now) I don't know if taking the tank off and checking wires and connections helped or not
i'm going to ride it a bit more this week and weekend cuz when I do my Labor day ride I don't want any problems!!!

No loose connections,no rubbing wires........ I don't know.

My dealer got ahold of Kawi and the only thing they told him was they've had a few problems with the fuel pump connectors on a few models.I know when I took the tank off and checked everything under it looked good.Maybe take'n that connector apart and reconnecting it help?
