  1. Ok, so some time has gone, and what has happened???

     

    The griso is alive, I had bought the loom off ebay on the morning I was told repair was not posible from the elctrical outfit.

    I that day went and collected the doomed bike, they showed me what they had done etc etc, the dealer had taken the axone down prior to see what the deal was, and again stated doomed. BUGGER

     

    Trailered the bike home, had made some cAlls in the morning about a ecu, prices ranging 1500 through 3800 NZ dollars... mmmm ouch.

     

    The ecu was hanging free, without the metal base fitted, and the wires that had been soldered to the pin stumps.

     

    I put it all back together, just cause I could, and refitted into the bike. Turned the key on, dash was ok, no service message????/

    Mmmm, check diag'... nill errors... (where had they gone??) Punched the starter button, and it fired up... weird, left header heated up, good stuff, Now the right side that had failed.... mmmmm Heat there to.

     

    Ok so I handed over 65 bucks for some wires to be installed, and to be told it was all in vain. But the bike goes???

    I rang the electrical place... the guy was a little dumbfounded... I ask how they test... seemingly they earthed the ecu to the bike without installing back into where it normally sits... maybe this meant the earth was not strong enough... hence creating a NO GO situation, who knows??

     

    Any way near on 5000km later and we are all ok, I put some marine RTV around the conections and keep my fingers crossed.

     

    Now I have a loom, but just looking out for a second hand cheap ecu, so that one day I can replace the loom plug and have it truely right... but wrapped the machine is cranking and running.

     

    Cheers for help and advice on here though people!!!! ;)
