Throwing out a long-shot.. Anyone with a 2011 Fz8 (so the same ECU) want to let me borrow their's to see if it fires up. JavaFan, the best I understand from their explanation is that the wire connects with Fuel-Pump, Fuel-Pump Relay, the Instrument Cluster and the ECU. The fuel-pump Relay sits...

So there are two harness connectors that run into the ECU. As was explained to me, one of them is what the ECU Tuners plug into and work with to flash the ECU. The other connector is what all the sensors work with. The wire they pin-pointed, and removed, to get bike working traces into the...

..this would appear to be the case. Yamaha advised Burlington Cycle the instrument cluster is doing what it is supposed to do. Not the cluster. ECU is toast. Oddly ECU functions in so much as the bike works with that wire removed, but ya.. So looking at buy a new/used ECU and going from there.

For those following this thread. Unfortunate reality is I don't have the overall expertise nor time with shift work and kids to diagnose something as complicated as this one. Bike was taken to Burlington Cycle. Spoke with them today and they advised the following: - the tick tick relay noise...

Yes, but none of those worked for me too - which forced me to purchase my lovely pliers by Channel Lock.

Hand tight, and not even that hand tight if you're overly burly. The pressure sucks them tight. I am sure you also know to lube up the gasket ring on the filter before turning it on. Also, start using either the K&N filters with welded on socket OR, use stock filters and purchase the Channel...

LPakkala. 1. You are correct. I did not turn the key. I think the key was still inside the house. 2. The constant electrical tick-tick-tick continues forever. I am not aware of any relays there myself, and as best I can tell from where it's coming from a throttle servo or something fuel...

Battery taken to Burlington Cycle, along with the starter relay/solenoid. Both tested good. As for the battery it makes sense given two others caused the same issue. When the 50A fuse blew, the key was not in the ignition. I can't recall if the kill switch was on or off, but I don't think...

Let's start the 2018 riding season with a spark! Bike = 2011 Yamaha FZ8 Don't ask. Just not paying attention.... I connected the battery backward and blew the 50A main fuse. All other fuses are intact, so I'm guessing the main fuse did its job. Bought a new fuse to try again. Problem: - kill...

Holy-heck. Look at the bike. Is it covered it salt and slush? NOOOP. You said you rode around for 100km on dry roads and not thru salt. At worst you got a tiny bit of salty-road dust on the bike. HOLY SHIMMIES! Unless you go ride in the rain, I'd not bother washing it at this point until the...

I'd say grab some P100 like others suggested along with a garden hose and regular ole' sprayer. Remove the obvious bits and pieces like the bags, and then go to town with P100 spray to get everywhere. Rinse off. Then wash it like a car. Wash mitt & shampoo. Rinse. Done. Not much more you can...

Yes. I have many thoughts. Like WTF are you talking about. Ever since brand new my motorcycle has not "off-gassed" like a set of rubber work-out mats. What are you talking about? What residue and gunk requires talking the bike apart? Was it previously enjoying a deep-clean at the bottom of a...

lol.

No. It won't be a safer summer. Even if people put down their phones they're become increasingly distracted by their own car's infotainment setups - which look more and more like touch-screen cellphones with each new model year. Laying the hammer down on something so pervasive in our society...

Ducati Multistrada 900! If you are going to be commuting that far on the highway daily I would 1000% steer away from nakeds and look more to something with wind protection. I'd also really try and first test-ride the bike on the highway. A very significant factor to wind noise all depends...

For Yamaha FZ8: I bought the OEM air filter over a year ago, and never installed it. Now I've gone and done the ECU Tune so I bought the K&N filter for maximum air flow possible. The filter is still brand new in box, obviously. $10? Hoping someone will need it - otherwise it'll go in the garbage.

Who is the person driving? Think about it.

It is frustrating when people like you think that lane bandit-ing ends with the left lane. The driver in the left lane can't move to the right cause the car in the middle lane won't move one over either. Pass Left / Move Right, means move all the way to the right. So when you're doing 130kph...

I purchased an MRA screen, but not through eBay. Not cheap either. More expensive than PUIG.

Motodynamic's products are some of the better ones. Run turn signals PLUS the integrated tail-light for best looks and safety! or.. as the wiser people will tell you: don't have turn signals at all - Ain't nobody's business where you're going!
