here's where I'm at

[wolfo68]

I'm waiting on a company that has one to ship it otherwise I'm going to throw her back together again and see if the new insulation I put over it will keep it from touching anything, I was getting the code because I essentially grounded it to the rockerbox

 

[wolfo68]

Ok so update on what I've been experiencing. I put the rocker cover back on and it had a fairly significant leak off of the bottom cover. So I got some high temp sealant and went over the existing seals as a temporary fix and the leak is gone now. Once rode it to work the cel flickered on and it just wasn't running right. Well I had Just done a breather reroute and didn't realize how bad it was actually running til I filled up and got about 80 miles before my light came on. I undid the breatyer and she runs great. And to fix the cel which was the engine temp sensor again I ran the wire through a piece of the 3/8ths tubing that I took off

If the ETS is not working correctly your bike will run like crap. So I imagine that your ETS was still shorting like before and the tube you used insulated it. Least, that's what I'm getting from what you've written so far.

 

[wolfo68]

yep, and I should have another one coming so I don't have to worry about it anymore. on the other hand I seem to have an electrical problem that causes my whole bike to turn off. I'm guessing a wire got pinched or has a break in it somehow, but if I'm moving the vibration seems to kick it back on. if I'm not moving I can turn the handlebars and eventually the pump will prime and the guages will sweep.

honestly I thought I had it all figured out, she ran great up til I got on the interstate then it started cutting out

 

[wolfo68]

OH FIZZLE

Before you freak out, I would say fix the one known problem first. When you have the new ETS in you can then begin to see what/if there are other problems. ETS will cause a crap ton of other things to go nuts. I've made the mistake before where I starting troubleshooting 5 other things when in fact they were being caused by just one.

 

[wolfo68]

yea, I'm just waiting for spike to get back to me about his ETS. he sent me the price for it and I asked what he wanted for shipping and where he wanted the money and I've gotten no response

these don't feel fast when you're doing it

I think they feel faster than a traditional sportbike. At 120 on my xbs all of the direct wind that practically rips you off the bike makes it feel like you are going way faster.

 

[wolfo68]

I could see that, sitting upright on an s would probably feel like a direct blast, but the redirection on the r it just glides compared to everything else I've ridden. and up until about 90 my wing helps direct the wind further up so I can mess with my position a bit, after 90 the wind pushes the wing flat and I just duck back under. I personally love the riding position on my r and I'm completely willing to drive for hours and hours provided that it is working correctly.

ok so another update as to what I've come across recently, so I have my engine down awaiting my new gaskets that I got today and I'm still waiting for a new ets so I took out the old one and unwrapped the wire..

which actually explains a lot so I soldered it up and heat shrunk it and I'm going to put a layer of gasket maker over it to help protect it. and it'll serve for what I want until my new one gets here.

[wolfo68]

replacing gaskets so I decided to take my primary off

 

[wolfo68]

ok, so my clutch issue is fixed and it hasn't acted up in about 300 miles. so I thought I'd give an updated picture.
