Testing sensor on R1
Discussion

So you have been pretty thorough.
As for the wires, whilst the 5vdc and ground will be used by several other components like tps, baro sensor etc, the return to the ecu is dedicated, so its possible this has a fault. It's a remote possibility however and I'd be pretty confident that the new sensor will sort it out.
Oh yes... I'm not called OCD for no reason - I take a belt and braces approach to pretty much everything in life ...

If everything else checks out I reckon sending the ECU off for inspection / repair would be the best course of action?
I'm in two minds ... Buy a winter s
tter to ride and get this R1 properly sorted or fix the R1 and trade it in...Answers on a postcard

As for whether to ride her or chop her in, that's totally up to you. But it'd be cool to get this sorted under your own steam.
You might love her now, but a new bike is always a nice proposition so why limit yourself? But don't get down on the bike for this little fault, these things happen. Who's to say you'll love the Blade?

It needs fixing regardless as wouldn't be happy trading it in knowing this fault could create problems for the new owner. I'm too honest for that. As for whether to ride her or chop her in, that's totally up to you. But it'd be cool to get this sorted under your own steam.

I still reckon my R1 looks better than any blade but I'm trying to be sensible as I need to trust the bike to start every day... Hence Honda reliability but Ive never had any issues with Yamahas before and I've done some serious mileage on them!
Regardless I'm going to get this sorted and then see how I feel about trading it in... Annoyingly it's booked in for mapping on Tuesday! Forgot about that.

Can you not get the new sensor fitted by Tuesday? I still reckon my R1 looks better than any blade but I'm trying to be sensible as I need to trust the bike to start every day... Hence Honda reliability but Ive never had any issues with Yamahas before and I've done some serious mileage on them!

You are assuming it's going to work! ... Ever the optimist ! If it doesn't, well we'll deal with that if it happens.
I would of thought you could dismantle the bike now with your eyes closed, bit like Private Pile
Maybe get the missus to blindfold and time you!

Of course it'll work!

Good man... Indeed, I can have the complete fairings and seat unit off, radiator dropped and ready to bogey in under 5 mins ... How bad is that! If it doesn't, well we'll deal with that if it happens.

So you can get it done tomorrow before dinner! Bike back together, give it a few starts to settle yourself and take her off for the work on Tuesday.
Easy Peasy.

The Suzuki manual for doing similar tests suggests a single strand of wire poked through the seals on the end of the connectors to get the test voltages with it all connected. Might be a way of testing yours too?
Sorry mate I missed this... That won't work on the Yamaha connectors as they are sealed in hard plastic ... Hence I had to splice the loom last time but as Bass says I already have both the ecu loom coupler and the sensor coupler once the new sensor arrives so I can sabotage those for testing purposes in future.(Praying I haven't thrown the old ecu loom out!)
I've got the error code 11 also. It starts fine but afte a mile or so it starts to stall and stops running when running idle.
Have to check the wire's yet. I do not suspect a cut wire otherwise it wouldn't work at all. The local official yamaha dealer haven't sold this sensor yet since he started his bussines (8 years ago). Guess its not a common weak point??
How realiable are the sensorcodes?
Any ideas?
