Yea, that will be me trying to connect it under the seat then!!! Opppps, done now.

thanks

Trouble now is the bike won’t start???it turns over ok, just won’t fire up, Where have i gone wrong? i checked all conections, once again, any advice from anyone please.

4

I would take out the part that you just put in and try to fire up without it. If it fires then the new part has got to be suspect.

Yea chuff, gonna have a tinker thisafternoon, will post results, thanks

Took the PC III off, plugged original conectors back together bike still only turns over but wont fire up, so think i have either pulled a wire or blown a fuse? looks like it’s mechanic time? Dam everthing was going so well!!

Check these things Neil:

  • Engine stop button off?
  • Bike in neutral?
  • Any fuses blown?
  • Any alarm/imobiliser active?
  • Injector plugs uninstalled and originals re-connected?
  • TPS wire tap uninstalled?
  • PC Unplugged from battery?
  • FI code warning on the clocks when ignition on/turning over?

You didn’t move the Bank angle sensor (little black box that rattles!)? They have a directional arrow on them which points up.

??? Ummm i don’t think i did!! Not even sure what it is…LOL

It’s usually near the fuse box and starter solonoid (depends on model). It has a rubber strap on it which is used to mount it of to a plastic tag.

When you turn the ignition on with the kill switch in the run position, can you hear the fuel pump run?

12

Yea the fuel pump is running when i switch on, do you think i have done anything to the ecu ?

13

Best think to do is give me a call and I’ll talk you through some things. you can get my number off the website. Homepage is listed.

OK Sparky…

15

Sparky, your a life saver mate, top man

16

So is the bike now running?

If so have you got the power commander in?

What was wrong? etc etc etc. Could be a bit of education for some of us so please let us know what and why etc.

17

Sparky is coming round tommorow, to take a look for me (what a nice chap) i will post a full write up when it’s sorted, so others don’t do whatever i have done!!

18

Oooh err hope I can fix it!!!

19

Well Sparky came round today,he is a real nice genuine guy, started to check all my wireing, in the semi dark cold garage, with a nearly flat battery!! After a lot of testing, looks like the commander may have fried my ECU (GULP SOUNDS EXPENSIVE). So i’m gonna get onto powercommander uk and explain what has happened, and see what they say. So as of yet bike prob not resolved, sparky is gonna come back in the next couple of days, for further testing of my sick baby… my fingers are crossed.

Thanks sparky
