Not happy
Went on vacation to Tennessee and brought the bike to ryde in the Smoky mountains. Rode up the mt stopped for lunch. After lunch decided to check the oil and it needed like 2oz. Put it in packed up and got ready to keep heading into the mtns. Bike gave me a hard time starting then the orange screen check engine. Finally got it started and it went in not limp mode. Shut it down took the key and walked away for about 5 min. Came back restarted all looked good. Headed back up the mtn behind a 2 wheeler hit the first big switch back keeping up with him and bam felt like someone dropped anchor. Limp mode. Crawled to the next pullout and stopped. Tried everything no luck so started going back down in limp mode with a max of 14mph. About halfway down pulled into a overlook and shut it down to let about 50 cars get past us. Decided to pull the codes. Looked them up and they said "throttle position sensor malfunction" great. Started up and seemed to run good so away we go heading to Mountain Motorsports hoping they could look at it. An hours ryde. Get there they say they are 2 weeks out but since we are out of town they will check in in the morning. Call Enterprise "the rental company that picks you up" yea fat chance they can't pick us up. So we take the bike 6 mile ryde runs great. Heading back still running good Roberta following in the rental so I push it. Great excelaration up to 70, hit some curves and take them hard no problem. Drop off the bike. Get a call at 10 am TPS is bad won't be able to get the part till Monday will try to get bike back to us by the end of the day Monday. So now we are in a cage till we get it back. Sucks seeing all these other bikes having fun in the Mountains.
