2006 Buell ulysses Red Lights

I just got an 06' ulysses buell, less than 40k mileage.

Initially I noticed that the RPM gauge works only when you twist the handle to the left. I cleaned out the ground wires under the headlamp. However issues persists.

Normally when riding through traffic, I Rev to create awareness so other drivers will notice I'm behind or trying to get pass them. However on this bike when I do this constantly I start getting weird feedbacks, on clear road. It feels like I have hit redline as the bike would not move. I have to turn off bike for about 30min to cool off before all is working fine. Then also I get red light blinking constantly and my speed drops. When I slow down and downshift.. The Red light stops.

I do not have buelltooth to read codes. However I'm expecting one this week.

You need to fix that first

You can jump the pins in the diagnostic connector if you don't want to wait. Buellmods.com

Any idea how this is done for this bike.

Rather than this jumper this, jumper that, count the flashes, wait, count the flashes nonsense, he should send you a video of the flashes and you can reply with the correct code, and proper diagnosis for each, please and thank you.

Here is a video of the bike

:tongue-new:

Today I got a Buelltooth device.. Hooked it up and got error 11 TPS too low/short to Ground.

I also checked AFV and it was reading 115% so I reset back to 100%. I tried doing a live test. By starting the bike and taking a live reading.

See video*https://youtu.be/WJ6rIds6odY

Did you try. Running a test... to see if the TPS is faulty. Or not?

You may want to do. That first. As it may be the source. Of the high AFV.
