Re: Shiny new bike day
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.

Re: Shiny new bike day
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 onMingtheMerciless wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 11:53 am Not that it needs anymore power but the ECU has finally been cracked.

Have a look at old aircraft piston engine stuff on wiki if you're interested, that's where all this stuff originally came from.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Aug 06, 2021 6:28 pm I've just had another look.

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

Re: Shiny new bike day
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……

Re: Shiny new bike day
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.

Re: Shiny new bike day
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.......

Re: Shiny new bike day
Is that because of rear wheel rotating without the front moving sort of thing ?

Re: Shiny new bike day
Could be. Might try riding it up and down the road see if that clears it if that's the case.

Re: Shiny new bike day
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.

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

Re: Shiny new bike day
No way of identifying the fault codes?

Re: Shiny new bike day
There'll be a button combo to press to get the codes without a reader... probably.

Re: Shiny new bike day
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.

Re: Shiny new bike day
Yeah,no point in having a warranty and fixing it yourself,unless it's an easy one.
