Error codes.....Can we have a Sticky???

First topic message reminder :

Hi,

Could someone please make a sticky for all the known rev counter errors??

As I think I might have one.....I think Ive been a bit of a twit and done something which maybe the cause, but Im not sure?

I removed the return cable on the throttle yesterday as it was frayed (New one coming from ebay as I speak) this was causing throttle return to drag and sometimes stick.....simple.

But, I went for a short ride on it today thinking that it should be OK without the return cable attached, as Ive done this to various bikes with no problems (In fact, it was better as the throttle snaps shut, way faster than if the cable was there)

BUT.......As I was riding I noticed that the rev counter dropped to zero for a few seconds, then went back up to the correct rev speed. I noticed that the bike was a little bit jerky as the revs came back. This happened at least 5 or 6 times in a 20min run. I basically came home because I thought it might be dangerous?

Now, Im thinking that because Ive removed the return cable, the throttle sensor is going hay wire because the tension on the cable now varies, and the slack is not being taken up....
Am I correct in this thinking??? (I think when I started it yesterday that I got an error code on the rev counter. I cant be sure but I think it went up to 8000 rpm, then back to zero. Didnt pay much attention to the rev counter, so I only caught it dropping)

Thoughts, answers general piss taking welcome!

Thanks,
Sean.

dident check the date , thanks steve , just realised i gave advice to a post made in july

Hello,

sorry to revive the tread but i have a cat and i getting this Revs code really often.
First i thought it was some problem with the clutch, but luckily i found this forum \o/ .
So i have the Haynes Manuals, can i find how to fix those error there?
Seancat, how could you fix yours?

Thanks

Hello, welcome.

What number does the needle go to and then return?

Hey thanks for the answer.

It was going for both, but i found in another post that this could be because of the nut on the battery not tight enough.
And it was my problem, fixed yesterday and went for a big ride, and for now everything is ok back :cheers:

Thanks anyway

Glad you got it fixed. Would you like to pop by the New members area and say hi there and we can all welcome you?
