Yet trouble codes sometimes made you scratch your head... is so also on networking...
IMO with some more thinking you will eventually understand

Thanks; no I am not a professional mechanic, it's just a hobby; but I am an engineer, so a bit familiar with technology in general.

Interesting. That is odd that a P0505 was caused by the VSS, but VSS is used by the ECM to determine idle speed. The ECM doesn't control to the target idle speed when you are moving. Once stopped (or nearly so), then the bike goes to target idle speed. This is one of the reasons why it's important to make sure to have proper gearing adjustments in the PV/ECM.

Agree; as the ride, when the problem occurred, was VERY wet, the first assumption was, it must be moisture in a connector, a fuse-, relay- or battery-problem; next assumption was an intake-, an IAC- or TPS-problem; as I have the second complete fuel injection assembly, it was quite easy to change all sensors and the injectors and afterwards also the body, the manifold and the gaskets / without the spare parts the search would have been much more difficult; while searching for the Gremlin I also bought a complete XR wiring harness with relays, fuses, lockset, keys, fobs, ... / found it at a quite reasonable price...
I read about people who had two and three dealers looking for their bikes with the P0505; without success; some were fighting with the Gremlin more than a year; I am quite happy to be able to find the fault within "just" two weeks.
The VSS makes sense, but still don't understand why no P0501 or P0502 popped up.
