Rough idle

[Ajmz74]

afternoon All

recent problems with my gen 3
yesterday i went out on it and the tickover was rough and unstable and stalled a couple of times at traffic lights. i had to hold the revs on to keep it ticking over.
rpm at tickover is jumping between 1100 and 1200.

I tried resetting the tps by holding throttle open for 15 secs ignition off the 15 sec on then 15 sec off . this Worked !!!! tickover back to normal and throttle responce crisp.

took it out this morning and the issue is back , now with a warning triangle too.

Any one have any advice or experience with this ?

Have you had it serviced recently? Mine has done this a couple of times since last service and wondered about a software update

Could also be poor battery charge / connection

I only bought the bike a month ago, last serviced last year but just an oil change etc.
not a major.

it has a recent new battery , but i do have a connection for the trickle charge and also a connection for a usb charger coming off the battery.
but it starts no issues and runs great over 2k revs.

changed the plugs yesterday too but still no change.

scratching my head about it

i miss the days when you could just turn a screw on the carb to increase or decrease tickover[emoji853]

I'd get a Gs911 on it and read the codes

Try disconnecting the usb charger connection - this is an active component and might be draining battery. The trickle charger connection is just wires and should be OK.

Once the bike is running the USB connector would not affect the running of the bike whatsoever, if the issue was voltage related it would be either an issue within the charge system or a poor earth connection somewhere or similar. I?d get a multimeter on the battery to see what the charge rate is if you suspect an issue with any of the above that?s been mentioned.
