2004 GSXR 600
13000 miles
OK, here's what happened.
Me and a few other bikes went riding this evening.
Pulled over and got something to eat.
went back out and started the bike as normal, however this time the red indicator light stayed on and FI starting flashing.
I shut the bike off and re started it and the same thing, but during idle the bike sounded fine
I tried to rev it and it wont rev past 8K RPM's
I removed the negative cable on the battery thinking that would reset the light, but it didnt.
So I decided to just go home. As I'm riding the bike runs fine as long as I'm below 8K rpms. If I ease the throttle open the rpms will gently raise up past 8k rpms. But if I open the throttle all the way, the bike hesitates as if I'm bouncing off the rev limiter but at 8K rpms
After some internet searching, it appears the code is C28...Secondary Throttle Valve Actuator which I understand is a common problem.
After pulling things apart, I saw that the butterflies was closed which explains why I couldnt rev past 8000 RPM's.
I've read somewhere that you can just remove the secondary butterflies, but this is what I have done.
Instead of remove the butterflies, they are now in the open position. However the C28 code is still there which is supposed to be since I never really solved teh problem.
I ran the bike through the gears and it now goes to the rev limit instead of just cutting off at 8Krpms. and it does this regardless of the throttle position (WOT, 3/4 throttle, whatever)
My question is: will riding the bike like this damage anything?
I do plan to get the problem properly resolved soon, but can I ride the bike like this without any worries?
