I came to find an answer but after reading some threads, I see this is more than a problem fixing forum. It's cool. I like it. 👍

scavenger hunt

This is an idea I have seen on another forum, and it seemed like a lot of fun if enough people participate. This forum has more than enough activity that it should take off. The basic idea is this; while riding find certain objects or signs or whatever to take a pic of your bike in front of...

I have a 2002 midnight star - model xv1600as. I took it apart and painted it already being that I was painting in a body shop at the time of purchase. I feel like a dumbass saying this but I lost my only ignition key... I did go to get a spare made but they didn't have the correct blank to make it. I figured I'd get around to it... so after a locksmith came and made me another key (with spares) I have a blinking engine light. It blinks 6 times. I found something online that points to a solenoid but it starts right up, no problem. It does have an issue while riding though. Feels like a ln air to gas ratio problem maybe? It backfires from time to time but not consistently, it stalled at a light, and it just feels off. It has Vance & Hines pipes and kuryakn (however you spell that, I'm sure you know what I mean) air intake. I'll include some pics.

I would say check the TPS, since it is carb bike Yamaha , one of the first things you check with any fault code on these bikes is the TPS

That's a nice looking ride. What is the color? Looks like a cross of orange or red depending on the lighting.

Thanks I painted it myself. It's candy red with a black fade on the other side. I'll get some better pics to post
