Other Heat sensor question

[score602]

How exactly does a yamaha run when you have a faulty heat sensor? Does it break up or miss or feel like its bouncing off a rev limiter?

They kinda cough and sputter and will not come off idle

Just take it off nobody use them.

I wouldnt take it off. Its saved my ass more than once.

As mentioned above, it wont come off idle, and will sputter and kind of backfire.

if you're running A/M pipe and pissers cut it... if all stock and no pissers then leave alone.

With a pissers you have a visual if there's a clog, etc.

I would suspect a CDI being bad before a heat sensor.

It is nice to have. When I first installed my pipe it clogged up with metal shavings and the heat sensor let me know before I noticed that no water was coming out. Now I check my pisser but it still is a nice safety net.

Why remove it though? I'm curious.

My Sj starts to miss after about an hour or so of riding, I drop a cyl and it's 100% not firing. Compression is 150 each hole. Anything over 3k rpm feels/sounds like its bouncing off a rev limiter and won't plane off. Then out of nowhere it will clear up. I cut back my wires and threw new boots on with no change. Funny thing is same thing happend last week with my buddy's 650. Swapped a coil and problem solved. I have an extra coil I'll change before I go out again
