Hey all,
I know this is an old thread, but I'm trying to dig up info rather than just making a new post. I've been digging in online everywhere and this *seems* to be close to the problem I'm having. At the moment, my '06 XB9CityX is dead in the water. I'd had my temp sensor replaced (fan cutting on/off, CEL on/off, rough running,etc) and it ran perfectly after that for another 500 miles. (Straight riding iron butt style) I parked it and left the state for two weeks then hopped on it to start commuting again and got the same exact symptoms. Before I could go out and buy ANOTHER temp sensor though, I jumped the 1 & 2 pins on the diag plug and got...well, pretty much every code that thing could throw at me. Bewildered, I left the trickle charger on overnight and tried it again. I *quickly* checked some common ground areas and such (I WAS on a long ride and I ran it 100 miles with the bad temp sensor which vibrated the bike enough to have me lose my kickstand; another story) and didn't see anything obvious. Before I wrapped up, I tried the diag again; tons of codes again. Tried to start it and instead of it acting like a bad temp sensor, the bike simply won't start. Ign on kill switch off I get everything except my neutral light (strange). Kill switch on, fuel pump primes as normal. Hit the go button and all I hear is a relay. (Rotated all relays to no affect)
Is it safe to assume I'm another victim of this voltage regulator issue, or worse, could it be the ECM? I was about to buy a new one until I realized they're 300 bucks.
BTW, I'm pretty mechanically inclined (though my background is in cars) but the moto electronics are voodoo magic to me so I've stayed away from them.
Any help, including a Long Beach Buell badass that I will gladly pay money, beer, and my hot-ass sister to, to get her back on the road would be appreciated! I commute 60 miles a day so $80/week in extra gas makes me think almost any price is worth getting her running again!
Thanks guys (and gals if you're out there) for all the input to date. I've been on here a lot, just haven't posted much.
