Hi guys. I've lurked on the forum before but just made an account to post this. Hopefully someone else has had a similar experience, but I haven't been able to find any threads that helped.
The problem I have is that too much throttle cuts off my engine. This is shown in the video below, but basically I can only get to around 4-5k RPM in neutral before the engine just dies. Blipping the throttle too hard also kills the engine. The bike idles perfectly. Here's the story:
I rode my bike in yesterday morning and it ran great, as it has for the ~2k miles I've owned it.
After riding yesterday I replaced the rear tire as per these instructions:
I did my test ride the day after (today). I stalled on the way out of the garage, which was weird, but I didn't think much of it at the time.
I made it 1/4 mile down the road to a gas station. After filling the tank (I always use premium), I was barely able to get the engine to start. I think this is because I was trying to give it throttle while starting.
After that I could barely rev the bike enough to move. I limped it home at roughly 10 mph.
I tried idling the bike for exactly 15:30 while sitting on it, as some posts have suggested that this "resets" the ecu. That had no effect. It seems to me like an electronic issue, but the only electronic component I touched was the rear ABS sensor when I removed it for the tire change.
