Need help diagnosing So a week back I went offroad with my club members. This was a place that I already visited previously. This time terrain was harsh and I found myself stuck at the water crossing. Following is the pic of the severity of the.
Himalayan is drowned till water level. Exhaust, and engine all dipped like wedges. We managed to get her out within a few minutes. As the water reached inside we had to loose the exhaust from the engine and force water out of the exhaust. As in below. Single Amla candy was the only thing we had for all three of us.
After that, we were able to start the bike and come back home. I was away 80Kms from home. Now, just after that I straight got to the service center and explained the issue and the bike will need thorough servicing. Air filter after the mayhem that we went through.
This was the color of the engine oil too. After 10 attempts of flushing engine oil through, a mechanic at RE was able to revive the engine back to normal. Now, the major issue right now is, that as soon as I release the throttle the bike shuts off its engine. Mech at RE saying that we might need to change the throttle body and check if it's the throttle body that causing the issue. Is there anything that I need to ask them while they check this? I have a good relationship with the RE center so I can ask them accordingly. Any suggestions are much appreciated. Thanks Godspeed.
UPDATE: Finally RIHA is able to keep herself idle. I changed the throttle body and it resolved the ideling issue. Back on the road just like nothing happened. Cheers. Godspeed.
Can be that milkshake (oil and water mixture) got stuck in your throttle body and it's all over your TPS sensor and injector that's why she's not idling. Get your throttle body and injector cleaned instead. Service centres always promote replacement instead of fixing parts.
