Alright sill haven't tested the voltage but today i tried to manually keep the rpm's above 2k idling and it still didn't help, it is still sputtering and dying every 5ish min it will have a fit and sputter and make a fit them its fine for 5 min. It was even going this on the highway turning 6-9k rpm for about 25-30 min continuously. Does everyone still think its the battery? I think im going to gvae it tested later tonight, just in my opinion turning that many rpm's for that long you would think that it would have charged it up some.
Agreed, the system may very well be charging but if the battery has failed and won't hold a charge (your dash re-setting is a big TIP the battery is about toast). All your electronics, (fuel injection, ignition, etc), is pulling voltage from the battery. If the battery can't carry the amperage pull(worn out), the electronics won't work correctly no matter how much its charging..
I had a carbed Suzuki 650 Savage single that the battery went out. I was able to start it and get home but revving it and trying to keep the RPM's up was a big challenge it ran so bad. No fuel injection, no fuel pump,
just the ignition... (Bought it for the GF).. New battery, ran like a top..
Please pull the battery and have it
load tested It'll take you longer to get it tested than to just pull it. It should be
fully charged when you bring it down there (trickle charge is, 1.25 amp automatic charger is good).
Please post your results of that. If its not checked and known as good, you'll be chasing your tail around.
**IF, you didn't have that dash issue, I would be leaning towards using a strong fuel system cleaner (which can't hurt anyway). Yamaha makes a product called
"Ringfree" which is very strong and will clean the fuel system and the top end of the engine. I usually get mine at the marina but saw it last week in a Yamaha MC / jet ski shop. 1 oz / 10 gallons, very strong stuff and you can run it stronger if need be W/O hurting anything. I run it in everything (especially the boat)...
