its been a sh*tty week.
friday night the bike went over in my buddys driveway. on a positive note let me say that the t-rex frame sliders are worth EVERY PENNY AND THEN SOME. my mirror took the worst of the damage, my fairing has a few tiny nicks and my rear fairing (the part with the 1300 sticker) took a little rash. other than that its ok.
so i pick the bike up, inspect it, it didnt start right away, flashed FI, and after sitting a few minutes started right up. i rode about 50 miles, parked it and there it sat until sunday.
sunday comes around, i decide to work on wiring in some LED's to the undertail. i take off the tail section, take off the undertail plastic, and get to work. i wired the LED pods with a 2A fuse, and they looked great, a good start. i put it all back together, went to start it, and it does not start. i got into it tonight, removed the tail again thinking maybe i pinched a wire or pulled one out, everything looks ok except for the module/relay on the left side with the 30a fuse in it. it clicks, the starter engages. this is where i need help, i see all these sensors and modules and relays and im kinda new to bikes, and brand new to jap stuff... it all looks so different. i had an issue before with my power commander i removed the battery and the bike wouldnt start. turns out i had the power commander negative on the wrong terminal. i did not know where it took its power from and was in a hurry. problem solved, no harm no foul, ive put on 1000 miles since.
on key up the power commander bar graph flashes up and down then shows nothing. is this normal? i never really studied it. no pinched wires, everything looks ok. anyone have any advice?
has anyone ever had an ecm go out? what are the odds of that?? im printing my manual right now, i think ill check the fuses under the dash tomorrow, i wonder if i maybe simply blew a fuse. i guess i have to watch how many times the FI light flashes as well. fuel pump comes on, its not watching for spark because the light/FI come on before even cranking, i dont know what to do.
