Okay, I just hooked up the 15k ohm resistor and my bike kept flashing FI and wouldn't start. I'm like.. that's weird. The FI start up sound part was shorter as well. Bike wouldn't fire up with the error. So took out the resistor and hooked it back up to stock - and I still get the error.

What have I done?!?!? Did I mess up my bike?!?! I've checked over every cable, everything is hooked up. I have the tail end apart (for a shock swap), but everything is hooked up. Could I of shorted something out? How can I test it?

This isn't good...

I'm going to call the dealership and see how much it cost for their Dealer Mode FI troubleshooting device that attachs to the bike. Without that part, I can't get an error code.

Anyone ever ordered one of these? or have one?

If everything is back looking completly stock and I bring the bike to the dealership - tell them I installed my rear shock and now the FI system doesn't work. Think they'd cover it under warranty?

Did I void the warranty doing any modifications? Anyone know the policy?

It sounds like you took your bike pretty far apart and didn't know which sensor was the tip over sensor.

I'm going to throw my bike back together, and call the dealer tomorrow.. tell them my bike started flashing FI while riding. If they ask about my minor mods (shock, rear turning signals, flush mounts) I'll tell them they've been installed for months.

Hopefully they'll take it in and fix it up under warranty.

yup thats what i would do

You sure you didn't cut the wires to the TO senser instead of the wires for the gear position indicator???

Did you for some reason take any of the sensors off??

Where did you get directions for doing the TRE mod???

I think I got the right wires. Blue, pink and a black/white one. If I unhook the blue wire, the FI system doesn't even start up. The black and pink don't seem to do much for helping me out. FI starts up, I hear it happening - then ends short.

What do you mean, take sensors off? I unhooked a few wires, but I hooked them all back up. I only unhooked what I needed to take the fender off. I had to unhook the FI ECM - but I hooked it all back up.

I still say your TOS is USD.

+1 i'd check that first

Newb Alert!
What does TOS and USD stand for?

Newb Alert!
What does TOS and USD stand for?

TOS = tip over sensor
USD = upside down

 

[ronlarimer]

TOS = Tip over sensor (see my previous post)
USD = Up-side Down (as in USD fork)

I would put $100 on that being the problem and another $100 that you can't convince the dealer that it just shut off while you were riding.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!!

Honestly, it was hanging off the side of my bike... big time super huge thanks.

 

[thejimdaddy]

Tip over sensor... so, if I can connect the dots - there's a sensor that senses if my bike is on it's side, and won't start the FI system so that it doesn't start pumping fuel sideways?  What can I find this sensor?

Or, is that some type of joke?

i'm not the best source, i have a first gen, but i believe it's under the battery, this isn't a joke

a serious post from the daddy? I don't belive it.

Thanks again everyone!
Damn TO sensor... wow - you definitly made my night. So many wasted hours.. I did the TRE mod, then un-did the TRE mod - now I'll have to re-do it tomorrow.. ahaha

Stay tuned for the next episode of "Turning a 30min mod into 4 day job"

Mental note to self: "don't take any technical advice from JCharette"

Glad you got it worked out.
