2001 Triumph Triumph Bonneville - Page 8 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues
Motor is idling & power surge making engine light comes on?
You are going to want to have the control module checked out. It regulates among other things. The fuel flow with regard to demand, ie... throttle position, air intake, speed, altitude, etc... And the companies are also designing some key parts with what is called "planned obsolescence". This means that instead of tinkering with it in your garage. You have to take it in for diagnosis and repair. Generating more "after sale" revenues.
Sorry about the mini rant. I have issues. Anyway you also should check two more things before you go to the shop.
1) fuel filter. (they do need changing every so often)
2) Actual fuel you are using!
And you can do that in your garage!
They quality of fuel is questionable nowadays. Within Two tanks, my performance was noticeably affected. Why you ask? I moved to Oregon., thats why! The fuel here is lousy. So we are always looking for the little private gas spots that DON'T have gas additives the big companies put in there.
Hope this helped.
Wheels down,
Jason
