I rode to work the other morning and everything was fine. got home and changed clothes, went to ride to the park to play a little football with my son and when I started my VFR, it idled around 900 RPM for a half a minute, then went to normal idle, but the engine light is blinking 2 times then not, then 2 times... manual says it's a faulty map sensor. I read a few threads where that was the case and my questions are:
1. do they just go bad like that??
2. is it a job I should tackle or let a shop do it? (on a scale of 1 to 10 for mechanical minded, I'm a 7-ish)
I'm not afraid to tackle it, but if it's worth paying a shop, I'm up for that as well. I've got some big trips planned for this summer and want the bike to be in tip top shape.
