Some of you may remember this thread:-
http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=13344.0It was a about this problem:-
"So, the bike wouldn't start at work this afternoon.
When I turned the key, no fuel pump noise. Only Neutral lamp and oil lamp came on. LCD panel shows info but no back light.
Front indicator lamps and rear indicator and tail lamps are on. Motor turns over but no ignition.
Lock the ignition and remove the key and all those conditions remain.
Disconnected the battery to get everything off. Charged the battery a little and the starter sounds stronger but still no complete initialisation (IE FI and ABS lamps don't show)" quote from the above thread.
The problem turned out to be high resistance in one pin on the large multi pin connector behind the left hand fairing, see photo1.
The multi pin connector is where the wiring sub harness that goes to all the front lights and instrument panel joins the main harness.
This is the bike involved.
http://ozstoc.com/index.php?topic=13721.new#newWell I am in the process of tidying up this connection.
After some testing and checking of available wiring schematics it would appear that this wire is the earth wire to the sub harness.
The best I can figure it out is that this wire goes from the multi pin connector to the yellow joiner in photos 2 and 3.
This joiner has another 13 wires going into it.
I think these are the earth wires from:-
Horn
Position Lights
Left Ind
Right Ind
Left H/L
Right H/L
Horn
Screen Up relay x 2
Screen Down Relay x 2
H/L Aiming Motor
Bank Angle Sensor
This means that the current from all of these is transmitted by the one single earth wire.
Has anybody had any experience with this yellow connector?
I want to open it and patch in another earth wire to reduce the load through it at the multi pin connector.
If my findings are correct please do not add any extra load to this sub harness and if you have the left hand fairing off check the multi pin connector for any sign of it over heating.
