Before guessing it is a sensor and giving yourself a shitload of work, log some data and either email it to me and I'll have a look to see if the ECM looks like it is getting a bad signal.

Great start to the sunny days. I take my Ully out and it pops a fork seal.
It's also had an intermittent running fault which has just become a permanent running fault.
When starting from cold it fires up as normal but needs to be kept at 2000 rpm to keep it running.
Even at 2000rpm and above it is popping and spluttering, after ten minutes it then starts to clear but will only run smoothly while accelerating.
If you try to run it at 30mph at around 1800 to 2500rpm it hunts and misses until you just give it enough to be accelerating.
I think it maybe the temperature transmitter so I have one order with BB but at nearly £90 it a chancy thing to do.
Can any of you give me any advice please

Ps Paul no I don't need to get an S1 so I don't have a transmitter before you suggest it!


Before you consider getting a S1 think I would buy a lucky rabbits foot first aa not really your week so far.

It's not one fork seal but two now, never mind best to do them in pairs.
Thanks to all for the help by the way.
So I take it nobody is going to hazard a guess what's wrong with it

Thanks everyone for all the advice, took it to Black Bear and saw Steve and as always was as helpful as ever.
Steve gave the bike to John in the workshop and within an hour the bike was running better than it ever has, it turned out to be a throttle position sensor and AFV reset.
This is the second time I have been there with this particular bike and John has worked on it.
The bill was very reasonable and if anything the bike is even quicker than it ever been.
Money well spent!
Thanks for the excellent service again Black Bear

Was the TPS replaced? Would have been interested to see the log to identify the failure.
