So I cleaned the TPS, it was a little dirty, but not too bad, buttoned everything up and flashed her up. Problem still exists, no change at all. I'm in the process of checking the valves right now. 2 beer into it so far and halfway through Metallica's Ride the lightening album.........lol. will post once valves are checked.

Bad News:I now have no idea WTF is wrong with my bike. TPS was good, valves were good. I spoke with a Yamaha tech at my local shop and he seems to be thinking ECU and/or temp sensor. Anyone have anymore input? I guess I need to take it to the shop now and pay for some troubleshooting.

I would think the ECU is quite a drastic conclusion to jump to, but who knows!
Yeah thats what I thought as well. I'll start with the temp sensor next I guess and go from there. At least the weather is miserable right now, so I am not missing much riding, still, I am starting to get a bit frustrated. In the end, at least I am getting to know my bike better. Will let you know what it is, when/if I ever figure it out.

What I wonder is though, if you take it to the guy to have it fixed, is he just going to replace the ecu, and charge you for it? (if it doesn't end up being the issue)
Very good point, didn't think of that. I do have other shop options in town here, so I don't HAVE to take it there and after your comment, it might be good not to actually. I'll do a search to find if there is a way to test the ECU, vice just replacing it. Thanks for the info and idea, that's why I love this forum so much. I appreciate all your help and time on this PITA issue.

Was anyone else not surprised the valves were within spec? OP indicated 29,000 KM not miles.
Good luck to you. Maybe someone has a spare ECU you can swap in to see if it helps. Any friend with an 06-07.
Is the air filter OEM also?
Yeah I was not surprised by the valves to be honest, but people had recommended to check them and since I was cleaning the TPS, thought I would get them checked anyway.
I will ask a buddy of mine on an 07 to see if we can try the ECU swtich, good idea for sure. The air filter was just changed in July. Thanks for the ideas.

For him, his bike was stock and he fixed it by getting the valves adjusted.
For me, I changed the plugs and it seemed to help a tiny bit, and then I remapped the power commander from a custom european map the guy before me did to a full akrapovic map (I have a full termignoni system). This fixed the problem 100%, and it has never happened again in the past 2000 miles.
