.unless you jacked all yer wiring up somehow layin her down.Taking that cowl off...how much wiring did you have to "unplug" or whatever?
Just unhooked the Two wires to headlights on each side and the TOS. Other than that, the speed sensor coupler connector is unplugged to install a Speedohealer but I replugged that and it made no dif.
IDK about you battery deal...maybe you are shorting to ground somewhere?
Nope, I think the battery is fine. The bike is bound to be a little stiff sitting all winter or Perhaps I am just not used to hearing it turn over so many times. It sounds like it is cranking slower but not at a snail's pace. Maybe the battery is not as strong as it once was. It did not die on me.
I think the key power did activate the displays and such...which may have been how I found out there was no tipover sensor)).
My key activates the display but only shows the FI warning, the warning light, engine light and odo. The FI WARNING takes up the whole screen.
Disconnecting it IS NOT THE SAME AS the signal sent to the ECU when the sensor kicks in from a tipover.
HM- same effect though. ECU won't let the motor if it tips over and it won't let it run without a TOS or the TOS wiring is shorted or something.
trying to restart with the sensor on it's side,see what the bike will do.I haven't tried it...but...might be kinda cool to see what it will do...should I ROOK?
I am pretty sure I did try that when I reconnected the TOS after putting the washers in the loose rubber dampers to stop the ticking noise back in winter 08. Much easier way to test the TOS than to lay the bike down lol
I have disconnected my ECU from the harness a couple of times since I've owned my bike.Plugged it back in....no codes.Everything worked okay.
Same here. Unhooked all wires from fuse box and ECU during fender elimination. Plugged back in and good as new.
I'm sure there is really NO problem. The TOS is dosconnected and the bike is behaving as any 14 with a disconnected TOS would. Throws a 31 and won't start. I'll let you know how it acts when I get that front back on. If it still doesn't start, then I will panic but I am betting it will fire right up with the TOS hooked up it should be.
