Shiny new bike day

[KungFooBob]

Snot cheap!

I've just had another look.

It's not what I was expecting.

On a turbo car/van the charge passes through a big radiator before the intake.

On that kit, a 2nd water radiator cools a water block inside the plenum that cools the charge. Interesting.

[Tricky]

Not that it needs anymore power but the ECU has finally been cracked.

That is a very interesting approach to flashing,- I can see some advantages to that, particularly for newish bikes that you don't want to invalidate warranty on

A bit like a Power Commander with turbo tech.

Have a look at old aircraft piston engine stuff on wiki if you're interested, that's where all this stuff originally came from.

ISTR there have been a few road cars with water/air intercooler, ISTR the old twin supercharged Aston V8s used them.

Oh dear, had a bit of an incident last week, riding in a Bus Lane the car alongside me turned left into me (didn’t get much warning, indicate and turn pretty much simultaneously). Crunch! Managed to stay upright, bent brake pedal, cracked belly pan and slightly scuffed Evotech bung. The same cannot be said for the car……

Ouch.

It sounds like you got off lightly. Insurance,or is the beemer driver coughing up?

[KungFooBob]

A good few years ago my old man was filtering past a row of stationary traffic on his Thunderbird Sport when a 3er decided to do a u-turn.

The front wheel hit his leg.

He kept it up right, it bent the peg and heavily bruised his leg. He was able to ride home.

The Beemer lost a chunk from the wheel and snapped a track rod end, it had to go home on a low loader.

[Supermofo]

Glad you're OK, made a mess of the Bimmer

Oh what an arse! Stupid people

[Bigyin]

Never mind that,we didn't get a report on the Nitron shock.

I put a Nitron shock on my ZX636 a few years ago that i got from Animal who you might remember..... it transformed the bike from hard as a plank with bugger all rebound to a lovely riding bike

[MingtheMerciless]

Bugger. So rode home from work on Monday in biblical weather. Got bike out and gave it a good wash today and then put it on the paddock stand with the engine running to warm up and dry off and after 5 minutes its generated a load of error messages. Currently got the battery disconnected hoping they'll go away.......

[weeksy]

Is that because of rear wheel rotating without the front moving sort of thing ?

I've got a ODB code jobbie if you wanna borrow it ?

[MingtheMerciless]

Could be. Might try riding it up and down the road see if that clears it if that's the case.

[Skub]

Shortly after getting a new bike,I pull apart as many electrical connectors as possible and fill them with MS4. There are far too many vulnerable connectors on bikes now,with all the electronic gizmos.

[MingtheMerciless]

Well driving up the road and battery hasn't sorted it. Off to the grown ups when I get back from holiday

[Skub]

No way of identifying the fault codes?

[KungFooBob]

There'll be a button combo to press to get the codes without a reader... probably.

[MingtheMerciless]

Just got the ECU light on and the dash flashes the following warning messages !POWER, !KTRC, !KQS, !KLCM (! in a warning triangle). It's under warranty so the dealer can sort it.

[Skub]

Yeah,no point in having a warranty and fixing it yourself,unless it's an easy one.
