I don't remember ever seeing the check engine light come on after boot up when starting the engine.

Here is my latest on the code 19 problem. I watched some videos and read many comments here and decided to try and fiddle with the ignition switch. I was shocked by the path its loom takes to get to the plug in the electrical panel. I'm sure that Yamaha didn't want this loom to move, but it...

So where are these two switches located? I'm assuming one is at the lever?

I am having a code 19 issue that is NOT the side stand. I've been checking many issues and still continue to do so. One of my riding buddies suggested a shot alternator. I was also looking at changing over to a Lithium battery. One thing led to another. So while I was looking at other...

Thank you. This is good information. I had considered Lithium, but this bike is so electrically fickle, that I am staying with the AGM for now.

Does the Scorpion Li battery not require a regulator designed to charge it? I have read that if you use a Lithium battery, the regulator has to be changed out for one that will correctly charge that battery.

I'm having this problem too. Isolated the side stand and replaced battery. Still gets code if I leave it off charge a few days. Voltage at 12.8 and I get code. Bike runs great when it starts, so I don't believe that it's the ECU. But engine will suddenly stop running, and so I am suspecting a...

I see you have a 12 too. I just went through all this, end of 4th page. http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=17952.msg283467#msg283467 Yamaha deduced my intake was clogged up with carbon caused by the ethanol in the fuel. They have some you-tube videos about Ring Free. Yamaha...

Re: Very hard starting today I read the very first post and skipped to the last. The trouble you described in your first post happened to me last December 2015. Replacing the wiring harness solved the starting and stalling issues.

I promised Milageman that I would post all the things that Yamaha did to my bike to finally solve my problems. To say the least, there was more than one thing wrong. I expect that most of you probably have had more than one thing wrong. The largest problem I started with was finding a Yamaha...

The latest in this saga is the factory has authorized the dealer to continue searching on Yamaha's dime, of which I am glad. This mechanic is determined to fix this bike. I sent him this forum and the pictures. He says it is reasonable that this might be the real problem. But what nobody...

Well, trying to figure out which one of these forums to vent MY issues on this problem is cornfoosing. I posted the last work here: http://www.yamahasupertenere.com/index.php?topic=2895.60 Then one day it wouldn't start. So I charged the battery. Even with the trickle charger plugged in, the...

I agree about checking the vac line/cap. This bike is a bit over my ability to repair with all the electronics. When I read about removing and replacing the Throttle sensors I decided that this was something better done by the dealer. As it turns out, my throttle bodies were 25% out of sync...

Re: No idle and high idle ?? I just had my 2012 S10 in the shop for these exact problems. Yamaha has a whole list of stuff that has been tried, but the sad fact is, they don't know what causes the problem. Until somebody gets seriously hurt or the problem becomes wide spread, they won't spend...

Re: Idle speed problem min 800 max 3500 Just got my bike back from the shop. My throttle bodies were 25% out of sync. The valves were just a tad out, but had them adjusted. Had them replace the plugs while in there. And they ran PowerFoam through the engine to clean the sensors. So far, it...
