Last 50 of 222- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Yeah, I'm ordering a new MAP sensor today, as well as a side stand switch. The odd part is how the ECU isn't driving a single or a pair of FI blinks to signify a MAP sensor error. I'm just getting the eight. I'm going…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Anyone out there know what the ECU thinks about having the MAP sensor pulled out but the rest of the system wired? I figured out that the side stand "sensor" was shunting to chassis ground when the side stand was up,…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help I've been back at it with this bike and I'm about to give up. New stub harness that attaches to the injectors and sensors, new main harness, and now I have an FI light that stays on constantly. Both harnesses are doing…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help New ECU didn't really change anything. The last stop is the wiring. I either replace harnesses or try and make my harness exactly like factory. Not sure which sounds like the best path, probably harness replacement.…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help I've ordered an ECU via ebay and should receive it on Friday. I'm really doubting this is a wiring fault and will skip that previous idea of replacing the engine harness. Will update again when it shows up.
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help digitallyhip: What about the wiring harness, specifically the engine stuff, what's that like on your bike? I want to say I don't need an ECU and probably don't need the wiring... but I'm starting to go into shotgun…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help The more I think about this the more I'm looking towards reason why I have to rotate the sensor blade to install the TPS. The closed throttle voltage is jacked way over what it should be, by 2 to 2.5 V. With the TPS in…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help What the video shows, I think, is that the Dorman and OEM TPS act basically the same (there's some very minor differences that shouldn't affect ECU logic) when handled free from the throttle assembly. The Dorman acts…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Okay, this shows basically what I've been dealing with. I know I read the voltages to the camera a bit off (decimal/millivolt conversion error) and I'm kind of not an awesome narrator; this was on the fly. [video:…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help I had a single FI lamp flash and then eight. I pulled the coolant sensor connector off and now I just have the eight. Nothing has changed or improved that I can tell. I've no idea what to do next. EDIT: Anyone have a…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help I haven't been on the forum in a while until tonight. Still playing with the bike. I haven't resolved the issue yet. I've honestly dreaded working on this thing. I'll post final findings later this evening. So far it…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Candy: PM sent.
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Anyone on this forum sitting on a spare 6th gen throttle body assembly? Can be pretty well stripped bare. Can discuss offline or here, either way, but I'd like to see if I can swap a different unit onto my bike to get…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help huntinggunns Wax unit will keep the butterflies opened slightly when cold. That might be the problem with trying to achieve a zero voltage reading. Never seen the FI light blink because of this. The butterfly plates…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Bringing this thread up from the dead with some potentially useful info and new questions. So after a lot of research, I saw too much evidence that the 6th gen (and probably every other Honda, car or motorcycle) VFR TPS…
- Which Used Vfr Would You Lean Toward? '03 seems best of your listed trio.
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? If you got the VFRness with an integrated switched relay/fuse block, attach the meter to a switched output of the fuse block. The voltage should be very close to that of the battery in reference to chassis ground. This…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Cogswell: In another example of just how much Honda loves us, the TPS is held in with screws, but at the time of manufacturing the heads are cut off after the TPS is installed. If you look closely you can see that the…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Okay, did some more testing this evening. Here we go, with the key on / run switch on, and measuring at the connectors at the ECU; Lt. Green/Yellow to Red/Yellow wires - 2.72V w/closed throttle, 4.63 w/open throttle.…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help paulmeisterpk You are correct in your assumptions about what each wire does. Green/Orange is Ground, Red/Yellow is 5V into the TPS. Light Green is the wire that varies voltage as you open and close the throttle. Solid,…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help To do a decent troubleshooting of the TPS the purpose of the three wires really should be known. I'm pretty positive that the Green/Orange wire is the ground path for the TPS. Red/Yellow is the 5V voltage reference…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Cogswell: One thing I find very odd is how we're supposed to do a multiplication step where the input voltage is like a variable. Why is that? If there's supposed to be a 5VDC reference voltage out of the ECU, that…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help Okay, here's what I've done so far. I took pretty comprehensive notes. This is from the 2002 VFR shop manual that's in the downloads section. I started on page 5-19, Step 1. Step 1 - Start the bike, count the blinks: 8…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help HispanicSlammer: I've run through a bunch of the voltage checks, all the ones that were easier to do without the factory ECM break-out cable assembly since I don't have one. All were in the limits described by the…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help VFRpwr: I'll clear codes again, install the airbox and the sensors, and see if anything changes. It seems odd that the bike would be able to calculate this out that well. For fun I pulled the MAP, flapper control…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? Not like it's a fun job, but I'd plan on pulling the stator cover offer, and visually examining the unit. If it looks pretty well burned I'd replace it as a maintenance item. Gasket for the stator cover may be a long…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help I've already got the FSM and I'm basically to the end of the troubleshooting step list. "Replace ECU and see if it acts the same" is where I've had to stop. rhoderage: 8 blinks of the FI light means that the ECU isn't…
- Ecu Vs Tps: Sick 6Th Gen & I Need Some Help I've got a 2004 VFR800, non-ABS, with about 54k miles on the clock. Nearly a full year ago I took my 6th gen off the street and started to very slowly do some overdue maintenance as well as electrical improvements.…
- 2002 With Charging Issues - How High Is Too High? There's making sure the monitor wire has good connectivity to the battery. You may also want to check R/R output at the R/R wiring harness plug and not the battery to make sure that any insertion losses from…
- 1999 Vfr800 Resurrection Cool rebuild thread. My vote on the color front is orange for the bodywork, especially a metallic orange, and something dark for the wheels. Glossy black might be nice.
- 2007 Vfr800 Rwb Dead At Key Turn! Generally you never use the Amp reading side of a voltage/ohm meter. For just about anything anyone here will recommend, you want to have the red lead to a Voltage port on the meter. Black to COM is correct for…
- 1999 Vfr800 Project Looks like a great project. Shame that the previous owner didn't at least try to leave the bike in better shape for the next guy.
- R/R warning The Signal Dynamics LED voltage indicator is extremely nice. I have mine attached electrically to a switched contact on my VFRness accessory fuse block. http://www.amazon.co...r/dp/B00AC5J84M Worth every penny.
- My Local Dealership Quit On Shoria/ballistic/all Lithium Batteries.... I've got a year on a Ballistic 8-cell, which I've been told by Ballistic tech support is smaller than what they would normally recommend for a VFR800. 10k miles and some mis-treatment due to a stator failing during a…
- Rapid Bike Fuel And Ignition Controller For 2007 Vfr800 Vtec What's it like to tune this thing, what's the software tools like, and do you have access to a dyno to do this or is it all street work? Can it datalog? Seems interesting, nice to see more work going into the 6th gen…
- Seca II Anyone have one? Here's some ideas; http://www.amazon.co...l/dp/B007856N1K & leave the frame in red. http://www.ebay.com/...L-/390399345127 Why not make a little racket? Might be a fun little commuter.
- Why I hate Arizona Could always try to lean it out chemically with a bottle of Heet or similar alcohol product. Adjust idle screws for leaner running?
- Need Recommendation for Nice But Cheap Pazzo-style Levers Any American company make these things?
- Cheaper alternative to GIVI top box You may want to inspect the SW rack now and then, I had one come apart, I believe metal fatigue set in over the few years I used it and it eventually split dumping my Givi box on the road. The SW adapter plate also lost…
- SORE wrists after 1st Touring 1000 mile camping trip! 1000 miles in a weekend is a pretty good amount of time in the saddle each day but it isn't insane. I've a crampbuster (or a copy of the same) and it made a *world* of difference for me. Also everything killbam,…
- Front radiator This whole "you don't want hot air coming off a rad and towards the motor" thing is kind of nutty when you think about the cars that most of us own doing exactly that. Or the fact that the left hand rad on an RC46 does…
- Front radiator The pictured bike, is that a naked RC46? I was wondering if there's a radiator out there that is sort of triangular in shape, one large single rad could be used, with the narrow part near the steering head and have it…
- Luggage options Sw-motech quick sidetracks + 5-star top rack on a 6th gen here. Using all spacers from both kits; 90mm long M8x1.25 bolts in place of supplied bolts lets it all stack up nicely. Basically the top rack ends up mounting…
- Exhaust what are my options Okay, the video posted by VFRoddy has to be one of the nicest sounding Supertrapp installs I've ever heard, without the raspy high pitched stuff I normally associate with them. Perhaps it's the fact that I only ever…
- Going full stealth Wonder what fuel vapor does to this stuff. Matte orange wrap on my 6th gen would, I believe, look the business.
- 6th gen built around rear shock? (more rant than anything) Pres, Can you see the notches of the preload ring ? Be sure you have it fully adjusted to the soft setting, if you're only getting a inch of movement! It could be that the spring is too strong, but let's not jump on…
- 6th gen built around rear shock? (more rant than anything) ...some stuff about setup.... I don't think I have adequate sag, it's only dropping about an inch with my weight applied, will try to get a more accurate read on it soon. Not looking forward to dealing with that, I…
- 6th gen built around rear shock? (more rant than anything) Monk: Jamie D. took my weight info and my intended use for the bike and applied that info to new springs front and rear to match. Will play with sag when I get a chance, right now I need to search my belongings for my…
- 6th gen built around rear shock? (more rant than anything) Wait til you try the valve check... :goofy: Unless the bike starts to really not run that well, I have no intention of doing a valve check, and will probably sell at that point. Probably make a transition to a Z1000 or…
- 6th gen built around rear shock? (more rant than anything) It's in. That was horrible. I'll never be a professional motorcycle tech at this rate... Still some body work to bolt on but I threw the seat back on and took the bike off the center stand and just worked the suspension…
