i will have to look for that wire now, your not the first one to mention it.

Good Luck!
i did check for debris (shavings) on the sensor and there was non. mine does it when it warms up

Yep, mine did the same thing, never could figure that out. All I can say is I had the problem intermittently for the first 2 years I owned the bike and now it's been problem free for the last 2 years after I tightened the ground.

the only ground i saw was 2 wires attached under a screw on the left side up 3 tree and 1 wire attached to the 3 tree on the right side.

the thing its doing now is after it warms up the idle drops down to about 500 and then comes up to normal. after sitting in the garage running i can really smell gas coming outa the exhaust. i cleared the codes on the speedo and even after the bike warmed up and didnt run right, it didnt throw a code this time.
