SYMPTOM TROUBLESHOOTING

When the motorcycle has one of these symptoms, check the DTC or MIL blinking, refer to the DTC index (page 5-17) and
begin the appropriate troubleshooting procedure. If there are no DTC/MIL blinking stored in the ECM memory, do the diag-

Afterburn when engine
braking is used
Backfiring or misfiring dur-
ing acceleration
Poor performance
(driveability) and poor fuel
economy
Idle speed is below specifi-
cations or fast idle too low
(No DTC and MIL blinking)

(page 5-54).
1. ECM power/ground circuits
malfunction (page 5-75)
2. Inspect the fuel supply system
(page 5-54).
1. Check the idle speed.
2. Check the IACV.
3. Inspect the fuel supply system
(page 5-54).
4. Inspect the battery charging
system (page 17-7).
Check the PAIR system (page 5-81).
Check the ignition system.
Inspect the fuel supply system
(page 5-54).
1. Check the idle speed.
2. Check the IACV.
1. Check the idle speed.
2. Check the throttle operation
and freeplay
3. Check the IACV.
Troubleshoot the MIL circuit (page
5-53).
