Bike cutting out

Hi Cliffa, i can’t fine any loose wires behind the fuse box but if I flip the box so to speak that fuse is listed as oxygen sensor and the one opposite is the coil pack which had blow, I replaced the fuse but bike still won’t rev. Ticked over fine for about 20 secs then stalled and same problem as before now☹️☹️
Hi Dave, so there is no wire going to that empty connector position?

Can you post some pics please
 
Is there a contact number for Stu?
Here you go Dave...

For reference some pics of my setup. It looks as though you have a different fuse box. Is yours a single seat bike?

Hi Cliffa, thank you , yes that is different to mine, yes single seater . Spoke to Stu today, did the things he recommended but still no joy. Thinking now of changing some sensors before I send bike to Stu, ( he’s a 4 .5hr drive away) ?Can you just swap them or do you need someone to plug into the ecu
 
Was reading the posts. I am a little confused. Is the bike bogging down on its own, or is it electrically shutting down, meaning you are losing power?
 
Hi , it started just cutting out completely then would restart ok . Now it will start but not tick over and if I try to rev it just dies. At my wits end now

Ok, so electrically, the bike stays on just bike stops. So it won't rev out? You start adding throttle, then it dies? Just sitting or also under load like trying to ride
 
Hi Yes, electrical wise I think it is working, I can hear the pump relay click on and the pump runs for 3 seconds. I have powered the pump directly from a spare battery but still the same . It starts but dies if I try to rev it and won’t tick over I can hold it at about 2000 rpm for a while but it will eventually die. Yes I do have a hand help temp gun.
It’s really frustrating as it started when I could ride to a café about 10 miles away and it would be fine , stop for an hr bike would restart perfectly but within 1/2 mile would keep cutting out this happened twice in exactly the same place. Now symptoms are “ permanent “🙁

Hi Dave,

I sent you a P.M. check your messages.
 
Dave, try this. I think it works on earlier bikes..

IIRC there is a procedure to re set the TPS that goes like this:

IGN off.

IGN on (do not start).

Open throttle to WOT.

Close throttle.

IGN off.

Then you can start the bike, and as Kev says, not touch the throttle until its running.

When you start at idle, check the exhaust header on each cylinder. Report back the difference in temps please

In this situation I dont think thats going to work. On all the 961's that we removed the Idle Air Control (IAC) valve does require holding the throttle open slightly during cold starts, which is normal. Every bike we've done this on behaves the same way. As long as the rider gives it a bit of throttle to start when cold, the bike runs perfectly fine. This behavior is typical for setups without an IAC, as the ECU no longer has control over idle airflow during startup. Think older Ducatis with throttle stops on the handlebar

If the throttle stop hasn't been adjusted, then the throttle body should still be aligned with the original ECU calibration settings. This means the throttle plate’s position should be consistent with where it was when the ECU was initially installed and calibrated. Any misalignment here could cause running issues, but if it's unchanged, we can rule that out. Besdies that he stated the bike idles fine. 95% of the time with a bad TPS it wont idle right.

To properly check the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), using diagnostic software is ideal since it allows you to monitor live data and see if the sensor is settling correctly and reading the full range of motion. An ohmmeter can also be used to confirm that the TPS is reading smoothly across its range, though it’s less precise than software diagnostics.

However, I suspect the issue lies elsewhere...which is why i asked for the temps off the exhaust pipes
