Mine had the same issue. Suzuki has a 5 year unlimited mile warranty they do on emission parts on these bikes. This is a part that falls under that.I did this last year on mine and it was easy and done quickly.If you have issues, PM me and I will get you the info and where to take it.Easy fix and you'll get a new throttle body assembly.Don't sell it - it's simple to fix.

12oclocker Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 (edited) if that does not fix it, next things to replace are the TPS (throttle position sensor) and ECU (computer) Edited March 6, 2009 by 12oclocker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ripped my secondaries out because I did not want a reoccurring problem. do what lizard said Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cpeezygsxr600 Posted March 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 ok i know it is under warrenty but i called the dealers and they said because i have a power commander and a after maket exhaust the warranty is voided Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
12oclocker Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 you know whats weird, that the dealer should have KNOWN the STVA was the problem,but instead want to charge lots of money to troubleshoot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f4isvt Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 I am sure some one on here wouldlet you borrow a stock exhaust for a couple days and I am also sure some one else can tell you how to take the pcIII off. Just ask around on here someone will help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shittygsxr Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 they are giving you BS, unless the aftermarket part caused the problem then they can void the warranty. Tell them you are not stupid and to stop being dicks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmako777 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) i can almost guarantee you the porblem is with the pc. those codes are for the primaries. i would check to make sure the pc is hooked up to the proper injectors and if theyre snug (i think the lowers are your primaries). if they are then try and run the stock map and see if that makes a difference Edited March 7, 2009 by mrmako777 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmako777 Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 there is only one set of injectors on his bike. lol ok i still think the pc is the problem. i have an 07 so i was thinking he had lowers and uppers. change the map back to stock or rip that thing outta there if that doesnt help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conn-e-rot Posted March 7, 2009 Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 Take it to Ohio Motorcycle I asked the service department when I bought my 14 about adding after market stuff and they said as long as I did not cut any wires on the bike they would not void the warranty.
