Continued altitude problem
I had posted a thread about an issue I had last year with my cross country trip through Colorado with my bike 2013 with it performing like crap in the mountains which resolves itself back at sea level. Bike spent 2 weeks at dealer (sea level) with no resolution. Fast forward to now, with no issues until I hit 5000 feet. Then all of the same symptoms return. Bike won't idle, pull clutch in and it dies. Or it revs to a very high idle at 3-4000rpms and is stuck there. Had to shut off bike and cycle the key to get it back down to 1100. Bike is running hot as well. 60 degrees at 5000 feet here in North Carolina and its running at 216 degrees with fan on while moving. This is becoming a safety concern as well. With throttle sticking at 4000 rpm, going down hill it pushes me while in corners. Dropping back down under 3000 feet bike starts acting normal again.
With all that... I think my ongoing issue is with a sensor. Is there a sensor that measure altitude that controls the ECU for fueling adjustments? If so, how to test that? When I get back to Florida next week and bring it back to dealer, they most likely will find nothing wrong again.
Also is there a reset procedure I can do to force the bike to read current temps/altitude etc? Thought I read that cycling the key a number of time does something like that but not sure. I love this bike if this continues I may have to part ways with it. I would hate to do that over a simple sensor issue or the likes.
Thoughts and suggestions appreciated.
