Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

Did you get the map online or have custom tune done?

Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

I wouldn't sweat it if your bike killed once. Have you ridden the bike since?

No it, won't start right now, I've tried. It's trying to turn over, but seems like its not getting a spark.

Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

Could be a problem with the map or pcIII. Try disconnecting it and then try starting it. At least that will narrow it down a little

Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

Yea try unplugging the pc3 and starting. If still nothing next thing to check would be your fuse. Just keep filling in and im sure your be able to troubleshoot the problem here.

Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

i checked all the connection, everything was perfect. pulling it off my buddies truck it started but while trying to ride up the driveway the engine cut out, re mapped the pc3 started fine, but is there something else that could be the cause here?

Check the TPS wire T-tap.

Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

i removed the set valve, pulled the #5 wire out, the o2 plug is disconnected, i went over every connection they are all secure.; the only connection i have yet to check is the tps wire tap. my other problem is my pc3 doesn't power up for mapping unless the bike is running. Even after connecting a 9volt battery to it, at first i thought i had a dead battery so i bought a brand new 9volt.

Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

the bike was running perfectly for about 30 mins. Then a cloud of smoke was blowing out of the pipe before it died on me, i'm thinking that was due to the bike running to rich?

Make sure you put the blank connector in the o2 sensor, although i'm sure that has nothing to do with it. The pc3 should only power up when you switch the bike to the on position. I'm not sure where you would have connected a 9v to it??? You don't have the battery cord attached to the pc3, while it's on the bike do you?

Ya sounds like it's running way too rich... I don't think it would be your TPS wire, though. Sounds like you either have the wrong map flooding the engine, or you have something that's not connected that should be...

Actually, bike sounds like it's being flooded. Probably the reason why it won't start afterwards. Either you don't have the right map correctly loaded and the pc3 is making it run extremely rich, or you changed the adjustment on the pc3. Once you have the correct map you won't need to adjust anything on the pc3...

Also, make sure there are not cuts into the wiring harness. They can also create a short. Go over all the wires and make sure they look ok. Tape them up if need be...

Make sure the correct set of injectors are connected.

Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

It's difficult to resolve this from a distance... I've installed my full system and pc3 and everything went great (without any experience!). I guess something isn't plugged in right but what...that's the question...!

Re: bike died while riding just installed R-55

If you went over and made sure everything was correctly installed including the map, then I bet its something with the wiring harness. It's either picking up interference or something is cut.
