Sorry for the lousy pic's, but it's in the "boot" of my TL1000R (fitted with an SP1 bum if you're confused by the lousy pic's) and I'm guessing it's some sort of Power Commander-type wizzbangery given the comm's port and LED "scale". I haven't seen a PC that looks like this though, and it has no branding or markings except for the numbers:

E3925 TLR9838076

Even that smart fella Mr Google failed to find anything very enlightening for either number.

Thanks in advance for any info.

That's the flux capacitor drive unit. Nothing happens at 88 without it mate.

Haha, I had a lil' "WTF?!" Marty McFly moment when I first saw it that's for sure.

It's definitely a thingamajig for your watchumacallit and specifically for a TLR going by the serial code. :done:

Whatever it is, it looks very homemade. Not saying that's a bad thing, but if it's the case you won't find anything about it on the 'net.

One can only assume it would be very handy if you could find a use for it.

I think this man could be onto something. Did the bike come with a helmet that has ally foil glued inside it?

Haha, shoulda known you'd sniff out the pony car Jimmy. I'm afraid it's no show car mate, but still fun to point towards a pub.

Think 15" Magnum 500 rather than the similar looking 13" ROS style and you'll soon figure it out. And that's about as clean as it gets with my mongrel driveway: 400m of steep dust or mud depending on the season, and thanks to the toploader (big hint!) rather than auto it's a ditch digging experience trying to get moving again after the hill start at the gate. :spanking:

That was my first thought too, but I think this is a lil' low spec for his sweet TLS, this looks more high school electronics project than genuine Suzuki or top shelf aftermarket part.

Yeah, it's got a touch of the "made in and sold out of the back of a truck" eh? But then it's actually got some sort of part/serial number which makes it think it must have be commercially available at some stage.

Is it "wired in" ... or seperate ... ???

If it was separate it would be in the bin by now, lol. No, there are a few wires hangin' out of it going into the main loom. I've just sat it on the tail piece for the pic, it was originally tucked in the boot, cable tied to the subframe.

some kinda alarm or immobilizer?

That'd be my guess, only a few wires means it is probably not anything to do with the ignition or ECU stuff.

Then check the circut diagram for your model bike. The number indicates it is for that model ...

A comm's port on an immobiliser? Nah......... It's only later model stuff that has ignition mapping, so not many cores required to perform fuel injection interception.

This sure doesn't look like an OEM Suzuki box. I stand to be corrected but I doubt any Suzuki to date has come with a comm's port as OEM fitment. Even the Empro ECU on my race bike has a more conventional automotive style multi-pin comm's plug rather than the wee PC-style mini-LAN (RJ11?) plug fitted to this lil' bugger.

Didn't see the comms port, sounds a bit weird.

Just break out the screwdrivers and open that bitch up, or at least identify what the wires going into it are...

I'm a few thousand km's away at the moment, much easier to post pic's on here and wait for someone to confirm it's a Prayer Polariser from the Holy Redeemer Church of Southern Utah.....(my best guess).

Seriously, the bike is running fine, no need to pull looms apart or spend hours researching (outside work, lol), I'm just curious is all.

Got it one bro': '70 Mach 1. Just clocked up the el cheapo rego for 40 years old, almost makes up for the bike rip-off.


Cobra Jet?

I wish! Couldn't stretch the purse strings to a big block, had to make do with a 351 4V, first year of the Cleveland.
