Still available? I’d like to come see it ASAP
Whoa! How do I get ECMSpy on my iPhone?
Put in the factory ecm just to see. Same problem!!
I might as well have a dealer hook up for me. That seems to be a lot of trouble.
Problem remains. New coil, plugs, and wires. Are there separate ignition pickups? Could it be a bad signal to an injector or fuel pump? I did have an itake manifold leak fixed, but hasn't helped.
Done. Thanks. The problem was with the clutch lever: the hole for the pivot pin was so worn that the geometry of the pull changed. Quick fix: dilled it out and installed a bushing to re-size the...
so adjust to 1/4" cable slack down low, then to 1/8" on the cable itself? Why would it act differently in different gears?
'99 X1: the clutch was dragging pretty bad when in first gear and stopped. I 'adjusted' it out down behind the clutch cover and the cable adjustment. Now 1st gear works great! However, the clutch...
I know synth engine oil is cool, I use a blend to keep the cost down, but gear oil... I've heard it can cause problems with some clutches. It's in there longer than engine oil, so the cost is better...
Is synthetic a good idea for transmission/gear oil?
Finally replaced the coil, and things seem much better. Are there othe ignition components I should check for wear?
or suggestions for a good coil? There's no MSD for bikes, is there?
OK... anyone go a spare coil?
the plug wires are new. I can swap them between cylinders and have the same problem. Continuity checks OK too. ECM has "VDO CONTROL SYSTEMS, INC." molded right into it, and is stamped "FOR RACE...
clutch ok, lost 1/2 the teeth on my belt, though.
Anybody got a part # on that sensor?
Hmmm, how would I test that sensor? I've got new problems now. My clutch (I hope) needs replacing. Is that right @ 36.5k miles? It runs roughtly (bucks and kicks) off a stop and I can rev the...
OK, swapped injectors. No change. Isn't an ignition coil an 'all or nothing' part? Since it does fire both cylinders, the culprit would be the ignition pickups or wiring between?
The manual says non-waste spark. Problem is intermittent. I'll explore the wiring from the pickup to the coil...
Well, they obviously don't work that way. I got a few impressive backfires, but that's all. It'll be a day or so to swap injectors.
I didn't know both cylinders fire simultaneously. If that is the case, you'd expect similar performance from each. Off to check...
Which terminals, exactly? I do suspect it, but isn't a coil an all-or-nothing part? The rear cylindar fires MOST of the time... Can injectors be swapped?
Sorry, 36.5k miles.
99 X1, VDO Race ECM, 365k miles. Rear cylinder misses. I can pull the wire on the rear cylinder and the bike continues to run on the front. Reversing the process, and it dies. It's been going on...
