Nicholas,
Thank you so much for this information. It just so happens that I spent
enough time with the manual last night to discover the section in Volume II
(New Features)that discusses how to check the continuity of each sensor,
e.g. temp sensors, pressure sensors, TPS, etc. I hope to find time this
weekend to check each one so that I have a clearer picture of which
sensor(s) may be responsible for the bike less than stellar performance.
I appreciate the information about the cold start idle. My GTS has never
idled at 1500 to 2000 RPMs at the start. I will take the time to look at
the throttle assembly and pay particular attention to the area where the pin
is supposed to contact the ARM.
Many thanks to you and others on this list that provide such valuable
information (technical and fluff).
Jeff B.

Hi again Jeff ,
As to the spam , don't know , haven't had any problems.
>When I start the bike it starts fine. I then proceed to >accelerate and it
dies.
Does it rev up when cold starting ?
Should reach 1500 to2000 rpm when cold.
>From what you say it sounds like you need to adjust the cold start unit (
fast idle unit ) See " Service Of Components EFI " , look for " Fast Idle
Unit "
in the first picture shown in my manual , it shows the unit with an ARM (
3 ) attached , at the very end of the arm is a spigot ( pin ) , this
contacts the throttle assembly and when the bike is at Cold Start status it
pushes the throttle to increase the rpm needed for cold starting .
You need to bend the pin slightly to make the bike reach
1500 to 2000 rpm .
As the bike warms up the unit retracts the pin and then the bike relies on
the throttle stop assembly to maintain the tick over .
To gain access to the Cold start unit , you need to remove the air box and
possibly the tank ( can't remember it was a long time ago that i adjusted
mine ) , then hold open the throttle ( you should now be able to see the pin
, where the throttle cam is ) if you open and close the throttle , you will
see that the cam rests on the pin and not on the stop screw ( or it should
do when set correctly ) .
Using a pair of narrow nose mole grip pliers , grab the pin and pull it up
SLIGHTLY , it's quite tuff to bend even a small amount though .
Now check the COLD start idle speed , only run the engine for 5 to 10
seconds , as if it's run for much longer you will need to wait until it's
fully cold again before readjusting .
