    Ok, to hopefully help out some of the questions.
    1. It's the previous owner's fault because he put that stupid connection into the ECU. One person pointed out that I should have inspected that before I bought the bike... Idk, I guess I didn't think to check all the wiring and rip apart half the bike to inspect it... that's part of the risk with going used sometimes. Not a big deal, I fixed it and it's better than ever now.
    2. The fireblade video will be the next video, I'm working on it now.. I'm aiming for Friday.

    I owned a sp1 from 2011 to 2014, 1about one year after i bought it had the same issue as you, bike started to shake and cut out a few times than it completely stopt even starting. Called the dealer and had it towed and cheked out, he dident find anything, bike worked fine at the dealer, he even make a few testrides with it without problems. I went to get the bike back to drive home; nkw the power was strange, sometimes reduced poweroutput brought it back to the dealer the next day, after searching for a long time the problem was found, a metalic peace from the toolkid undernearth the seat fell in the space between the V from the engine and would sometimes pull away sparks from the sparkplugs straight to the frame, peace removed all issues were gone, maybe you can check it out if you have the same problem.

    I'm having the same issue on my 2008 r6s. I just started riding a few months ago. Not too long ago, my bike started dying whenever I would hit a semi hard bump or whenever I would get too hard on the throttle. Now my bike doesnt prime the fuel pump when the kill switch is off, however, when you turn it on, it sometimes primes and sometimes doesnt. I started wiggling the kill switch a little bit while turning the key and realized that that's the issue. I havent gotten into it yet but I'm sure I will here soon

  • @2WheelsSometimes1
    @2WheelsSometimes1 5 лет назад

    4 Things.
    1) Glad you had a friend to get you back home.
    2) This is why you never use those useless splice in connectors, learned that in school and from other much more experienced and wiser mechanics than myself. I know it wasn't your fault. Always use proper connectors, or do it right and solder and heat shrink the wires.
    3) Where did you guys ride out too? It's beautiful. East Coast up State?
    4) What gloves do you wear? They look similar to Icon's original Overlord Gauntlet gloves. Best gloves I've ever put my hands into.

    Mikhail Kalashnikov. Quote. All things complex are useless. All things simple are useful. IE! In the age of ultra performance our bikes are extremely complex, as a result minor problems cause a complete failure and usually take a long methodical procedure to diagnose. It a credit to your knowledge and experience that you could so quickly fix that wonderful machine.

    Question... you know if anyone has mounted VTR bodywork on an RVT? (Superhawk onto RC51)
    I absolutely love the looks of the Superhawk's half fairing, but I would prefer the added performance, handling, and FI that comes with the RC. Also, Superhawk instrumentation, could it be made to fit the RC? I much prefer the Superhawk's analog gauges over the LCD gauges on the RC.

  • @mc1dash1b

    I bought an ‘82 Gs1100e that was not turning on at all but had a good battery and the seller said it ran when he put it away for a year. When I got it home and checked all connections were tight. Sitting on it moving it around the garage suddenly everything lit up. I hit the starter and it tired right over. When I moved it everything went off again. Under the seat is the positive battery cable to the starter solenoid. Rather than part with $10 for a new six inch braided strap someone had carefully pulled back the red cable cover and soldered the flex cable solid. Of course when you sit just right the cable meets and when you moved it parted again. Who does these things?

  • @onlyoneromeo

    Two things : if u have an older power commander they are notorious for going bad and if u wiggle them they will turn off and back on cutting fuel. Do you have one on the RC? Also when u blip the throttle mine cuts off if you do it too fast.

    All of those squeeze type connectors suck, they cut half the wire strands away. A proper splice should be twisted and soldered then use anti oxidizing paste and finish up with heat shrink. It takes ten minutes as opposed to ten seconds but it won't fail.
    If you don't have the slack then find it or make it.

      So the problem was the wire that was taped into for the rev limiter mod had failed. Just check your ECU and see if the connectors are in place. Also it could be your fuse or maybe even your fuel pump itself. There are ways to test this with a multimeter. Good luck!
