I dealt with a similar issue and it was the ground for the TPS. Check the yellow grounding block above the oil tank.

Experienced the same issue last year and it was the solenoid. Easy and cheap to replace once you know it's the issue.

Ah ha, that makes sense. Thanks

Does anyone know how the front straps of this saddle bag attach to the sled? The back straps had buckles attached but the fronts didn't? Are the the front straps suppost to have buckles and if so do you remove the seat and connect them? Bought that bag used and can't figure it out. Thanks in...

Well, after scouring craigslist and ebay for the past several months, I was able to get to the parts needed to fix it. It was a lot easier then I expected, thanks largely to carbondale's thread on pulling apart the front end for oil changes. I ended up having to replace the front frame, the...

Well, unfortunately my season is over after hitting a snow covered rock last night in the ditch. Fortunately, I walked away uninjured, the sled is a different story. Just based on my initial observations, It appears the Phazer will need a new A-arms on the right side, a new Fox Float, along...

Just curious, does anyone know why Yamaha decided to go with a 14" wide track?

I'm looking for recommendations for a new battery for my 08' RTX. It had a cheap Everstart battery which was in it when I bought it and it lasted 3 years. Also, how long should a good battery last? Thanks

Do you have the track, If so is it studded and what is the condition? Thanks

Had the same issue with my phazer and was also a fried ground for the tps. May want to check the tps with a multi meter if ground is good.

It ended up being a fried ground in the yellow grounding block. Grounded the connection straight to the battery and were up and running.

UPDATE... After taking it out for a spin yesterday I was getting a a code 15 intermittently during startups along with 84. Sled still wouldn't idle unless I gave it some gas but once it got going it ran like a champ. Today I put it into diagnostic mode and under diagnostic code 01 I was...

I'm having an issue with code 84. Over the fall, I randomly received codes 84, 11, and 15. After a while code 15 stopped flashing (unsure what I did). After cleaning up the starter solenoid, it cleared up code 11. Which left me with code 84/TORS issue. As others have suggested with TORS...

jremps, I'm experiencing the exact same problem on my 08 Phazer RTX. I'm wondering if the wire/ground issue was a permanent fix or did the problem reoccur? Thanks,

Check under the headlight cover, there is foam liming on the top, at least there is on my 08.
