Got the thing in bits, tank off the whole fucking lot. After much fucking about in desperation I had a look at the icu under the seat. They look fine, but give the lef tone a crack with the handle of a screwdriver, the fucker burst into life When it does run, it pops & farts though. 2 spark plugs a cylinder too Odd sized plugs too -- Nige, BMW K1200S Honda Transalp XL600V Yamaha R1 Range Rover Vogue
Well I did say sudden coming to life suggested ignition. Still a dodgy connection somewhere perhaps, or breaking down inside the icu. What fun. -- +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Pete Fisher at Home: | | Voxan Roadster Yamaha WR250Z/Supermoto "Old Gimmer's Hillclimber" | | Gilera GFR * 2 Moto Morini 2C/375 Morini 350 "Forgotten Error" | +-------------------------------------------------------------------+
Reminds me of the prob Hog had with my old XS650 - fusebox under the seat, years of sitting on seat, seat sags, contacts fusebox, intermittent make and break.
The original CDI units are under the seat, i believe they get squashed by fat cunts. I also have found out that you can fit one from the 650 that has two units in one. Ebay here i come The fucking bike is in utter bits though. it will take fucking ages to get it all back together. Nice feeling finding summat oneself. I don't reckon the chokes will ever need lubricating again, the amount i have lubed 'em Nige
hhmm good point. I might just get an original one, they are feckin' expensive new though. Aye, a nice couple of M8 washers Just been out to check it with the cdi units swapped over to double check pulse gen coils. It's deffo the cdi unit. Cheers for the help btw Nige
