Hi everybody, I've been having some problems with my 2008 450 te. I've had a full engine overhaul after it seized due to a broken bearing. After that reassembled the bike and it ran fine for the first couple of rides, but now the bike does not run properly with half throttle. Full throttle the bike takes off again, although not with the full power I'm used to. Sometimes it backfires too while this happens.
Since this problem started I've seen the indication light for the lights blinking on the rithm of the ignition too, the tail light does the same and headlight is just steady.
I've did a tps reset, but I have the feeling it might be something electrical.
Hope someone can help me with this or point me in the right direction
Thanks, foeks

I was wiggling at the wires behind the headlight and when I was doing so the fuel pump would start up again, as it would be if you turn the ignition on. I pulled the headlight off and wiggled a bit more. After this, the bike did not work at all anymore but this did point me to the problem. pulled the connector of the ignition switch and hotwired it so that the ignition stayed on and took it for a testdrive.
