    Was the addition of the resistor across the pair valve connector the final solution to prevent a CEL? What was the value of the resistor?

    • @Tremonte
      @Tremonte  6 лет назад +1

      1/4W 770 Ohm - 1k Ohm or 1/2w 400 Ohm - 770 Ohm

      @@NoDayz0ff because a 20-22ohm would require a higher wattage rating, and is not as easy to find . You can use the one linked that is lower wattage and will work just fine.

    That's a fantastic video. Not that many maintenance videos on RUclips for the Z650 so really want to say thank you for doing this, helped me a ton while changing the air filter and spark plugs on mine.

    For if anyone needs to know when you unplug the fuel line a smallish bit of fuel does come out but it does not need to be empty. Just try to have some towels ready.

    While the vids are informative and fun to watch, you obviously have a background in electrical work and or engineering because you know all the names to all the parts and have a huge understanding of the construction and wiring of the bike. I'm sure a lot of that is basic knowledge to you but for noobs or people just looking to save $$$ on bike maintenance that honestly seams like a lot. Plus you have a tremendous amount of patience. So keep up the great vids but I wouldn't necessarily call these mods and hook ups easy stuff.

  • @jens9n

    The connection mounted to the bike, where your fuel pump plugs into for power, where does it lead? Mine was stolen a couple years back, after recovering it last year, installing a new wiring harness was one of the things I had to do, Some areas are lost on me, however I see from the video what I'm missing on that mount is where you power the fuel pump from, is it a lead straight to the battery or?

    • @Tremonte
      @Tremonte  Год назад +1

      It goes to the fuel pump relay. Left side under the plastic guard near the fuel tank and ignition trim covers.

    • @Tremonte
      @Tremonte  4 года назад

      I recently changed my air filter and don't recall any square rubber washers. There could have possibly been one between the air box and the pairing valve for vibration dampening. I can't remember since I deleted all of that.

    I been looking alot on your canal before i did buy a bike, and i got a used Z650 2018 model with only 4500km, its about 2800miles for e very good price, half of what it cost new. Problem is i live in Bangkok for the time and the bike runs hot coz many days its well over 40 Celsius outside and when i drive in traffic jams. I order a tuning exhaust, and im gone get a airfilter from DNA. And i have make a appointment for remap the bike so they can adjust the fan to kick inn at 90 degree Celsius and not 120 as stock. Did you see any different with working temp on the bike when you did your remap?

    Hey sir I have a question, 2017 ninja 650 did the two brothers full exhaust and I'm looking at your video about a block off plate and alot of forums say to put one on. My question is what were you needing to jump wires to avoid a CEL for? Is the plate going to throw codes? I dont plan on tracking or tuning. I have a power commander enroute now but I heard about popping in downshifting with aftermarket exhausts. Is this piece actually required? Since I have everything off for the PCFC I figured I'd look into doing it. Thank you for your videos, they've been instrumental in helping me do the mods and upgrades to my bike

    What exactly does the Blockoff Plate do? Not sure how it helps to get more accurate dyno readings.

    • @Tremonte
      @Tremonte  7 лет назад

      +NutNbutSpeed it dumps air into the exhaust port to create a hotter mixture for emissions. That extra air can cause the sniffer on the dyno to give false readings. So in order to be accurate, a block off is needed. It also helps to reduce the popping from aftermarket exhausts.

    • @farmerjoe6908
      @farmerjoe6908 7 лет назад

      Hi mate in Australia we just leave the pcv connected and put marbles inside the air hose. It give you no codes and effectively blocks the air flow. I have done this to my Z1000 stops all the backfire issues you get after an exhaust change also. Good video mate.

    don't mean to sound like a dummy, but what is the purpose of the block off plate? I've never heard of this being done.

    • @Tremonte
      @Tremonte  7 лет назад +3

      SHOVELCARD it is to remove the smog system on bikes that will be setup for the track. Without a plate, the smog pump will dump extra air into the exhaust ports and cause false readings during the tune session. There is no performance gain from doing this, it's solely for more accurate readings.
