Strange happenings with my bike

[buggerit]

Have you checked the wiring loom earth to the frame? ( not battery earth).

I tell you what, you buy the kit, I will come and help you use it. You will have to do all the clever stuff as my wrist is still in plaster and you will need to buy a long roll of glad-wrap too. Let me know. Serious offer.

Many thanks for your kind offer. It will be kept in mind...

Buy a Hornet

Not a red one, for sure! Those have been statistically proven to go faster and incur higher insurance premiums!

No,... well, maybe but I'm not sure.

What surprises may next week bring?....

Yeah, that was done...

Unfortunately, it's still misfiring. Rode it home fine last night, but this morning on the motorway it 'hiccuped' once. No loss of power but that wouldn't be far away if there were a few more misfires...

The mechanic (2nd one) was at a loss since he checked out the entire electrical system and found nothing wrong, bar stripping the wires out to see if there may be a broken one somewhere. The TCI, kill switch and kick stand switch/circuits check out OK too...

OK, just found this and it fits my problem to a T:

So, a new TCI [quoted by Red Baron] is 565 dollars and a used unit is anywhere from 120 to 200 dollars. Do I get an electronics technician [if I can find one who will] to try this fix or would that cost the same as a used unit from the States or even a new one from RB?

Just asked a mate if he can do it.

Simple visual inspection should be free (you'll have to take it out of the plastic though), I think unless something is found in that it's going to get fairly expensive and be good idea to look around for a second hand one. If you can't get anyone local and want to send it down to palmy I can give it a look over.

Thanks, Spokes and Bogan!

OK, that's about 130 dollars. So you reckon that's less than getting a electrical tech to fix the ECU?

I say grab it and trial. If it isn't the prob then you can tardme it and recover the 130 again.
If it works 130 is as cheap as it will get unless you try fix ecu yourself.

bike eleky 80-120 per hour
electronic tech same

Both could access for a hour and not be able to repair. If can repair will be 130 north.
Unless you have mate will do it for beers.

My mate would do it for the challenge and beer.

I've fixed a Yamaha cdi before come to think of it, on an old FJ 1200. Rip it open and get into it.

Seems like a goer to me, just give him the beer after the challenge
