- 05 rocket 3
G'day my name is Daryl I live in Australia and bought a 2005 rocket 3 that has not been ridden for 3 years. I went to pick it up and it would run so I returned the next day with a new battery and fuel pump and rode it home it ran reasonable. The next day I took it to the car wash as an initial wash my son went to go for a ride a couple of hours later and it bucks like a bull and to date I can't find the issue.
Gone through every electrical connection I can find and blown clean with compressor and contact cleaner then applied dielectric grease. New spark plugs new fuel pump cleaned fuel filter which was clean (got a sample from it) as no new one available in town so will order one. Replaced rubber fuel lines and clamps in tank cleaned fuel pressure regulator and inside fuel tank and had injectors serviced. Clean K&N checked vacuum hoses. Bike has 38000 km on it. Put my cheap wifi scan tool on it and only code is fuel gauge level circuit fault. Giving me the s@#ts about now. Thinking TPS, will clean crank angle sensor this week. Just seems like it should be related to washing it but maybe coincidence or maybe corrupted it. Any advice appreciated and have gone an purchased penrite ultimate bike detail kit so as to never wash it again.
Cheers
