I've got my 2008 xt running pretty well and all shined up. I bought it last summer with 2000 miles and now it has 12000. It's all broken in and is uber-fun to ride. The thing that gets me, that which I'd love to know why is happening, is that after cruising at a constant speed and rpm I come to a stop. When I go to take off again the bike frequently (8 out of 10 times) will burp back through the air intake and almost die. I let off the gas quickly and then I can accelerate again with no problem. I had the bike in the local HD shop last summer and they replaced the ECM and put the 2009 flash program in it. I lost A LOT of "get up and go" with the new programming, power that never came back, even after the learning period. I believe the previous ECM was stock. | ||

Try first of all to make a TPS reset. | ||

tps reset makes absolutely no difference... When it's hot out the bike burps at stops. In cooler weather, not as much. | ||

Check and clean your IAC w/ qtips and alcohol, or carb cleaner. | ||

My '08 X does the same thing. Only difference is that sometimes when warming up (about 1km from home) it will cough and pop to the point that I can barely get going from a stop. Last week I noticed that the resin is separating from my ECM at one of the connectors... not sure if it's related. I am almost wondering if this bad behavior is related to my 250lb body applying pressure to the ECM connectors on take off!?!? I've only had mine for a month and it's done this since I've had it. Not sure if it's ever been re-flashed (no records - it was a trade-in). Please post if you find a solution to this problem! | ||

Mine did that until I bought the EBR ECM. Now it doesn't "burp", much more civilized when cold, and generally runs smoother with the most obvious improvement being under 3000 rpm. Best $250 you'll ever spend on your Uly. |
