  • Update on the Raffle FZ1. We are so dang close to wrapping up this project. I've been working away on both the Supercharged Fz1 and the Turbo Fz1. Had a mishap with a lot of video where there was no audio so with this video update I just did the best I could with what I had. Not my best work. Enjoy.

    Sup, I have got an fz1 with code 14 and 22. Still rebuilding and don’t have the airbox + installed. I switched the key on and no response from start button. Does not having the airbox sensor plug prevent from starting?

    • @rhetericalpha
      @rhetericalpha  3 года назад +1

      Ok so I did some looking at the service manual and code 14 is Intake Air Pressure. It also says you are able to start the motorcycle and ride without it connected.
      Error code 22 is Intake Air Temperature sensor and it says you are able to start and operate the motorcycle with this disconnected. So the no start condition is not due to these codes.

    • @rhetericalpha
      @rhetericalpha  3 года назад +1

      I guess I should ask what were you rebuilding/repairing?
      Do you have the ignition kill button on the right setting. When switching it did you hear the fuel pump?
      Does it crank over at all?
      Do you have it in gear? And is the kick stand down?
      Is there anymore codes?

      Also I’m still diagnosing, I can’t find neutral, I believe that’s why the bike won’t crank.

      Your neutral safety switch probably popped or went bad. Is this a wrecked motorcycle? It is located on the back of the engine right in front of the shock

      @@rhetericalpha Hey, so background is that this is my second yamaha fz1 bike. and i don't believe it was wrecked but I do believe it was disassembled for the frame crack repair. I got ownership with the the bike in a skeletons state. I used my good bike as a blueprint to reassemble it.
      back to diagnosing: when I switch the key on, i get a check engine light and code 14. I went through the service manual "self diagnostic mode" pages 8-38 to 8-50. everything checked out fine. My shifter only goes down and up 2 (so that's not normal). I can't get it to shift into neutral. I would try to free up the transmission by rolling the bike but I don't have a front sprocket on at the moment.
      which brings up my next question: how is a front sprocket mounted? is it just a bolt or is there a concave washer?
