Urgent help required please

If you take the tank off, have a look at the hall sensor conector. The last time mine misbehaved, I just pulled the multi pin connectors apart, and they were all nice and green. Just take them apart and push them back together again a few times to clean the contacts up a bit and see what happens. Mine were minging,and that was about 60k ago.Worth a try.

Since I was told to do that,I've been having nightmares about the fact I might have bunged away 150 quids worth of perfectly good hall sensors

PS I pushed mine 7 miles,so stop whining

Waiting with bated breath to see the outcome.

He's on an 1150 so it won't have any of that unreliable technical wizardry on it to go wrong

One must pay more attention

Arrrrggggghhhh !!!!!
both of us have woken up this morning covered in itchy mozzy bites . Davy´s face looks like he´s been dooking for chips . lol . his eye is swollen completely closed and there´s no way he can ride twisties today . my ankles and hands are itchy as feck also. spending the night in a ditch was possibly not one of our better ideas , it looks like another night in the hotel to regroup and get things sorted . This has the makings of a good trip . . anyway , i´m rambling on , hopefully i´ll get the bike to the dealer and davy to the pharmacy this morning for a diagnosis . I´ll keep you posted.

Fookin brilliant thread in so many ways..the instant help to contact Steptoe(by 'eck this t'Interweb int 'alf good), the technical advice, the excellent pisstaking, the stoicism and determination of kirky , the hilarious (laffing with you not at you) vision I have of (a) spraying ya 'lectrics with water to see if you break down again (b) you collapsed in a ditch for the night and (c) pushing the bike 1/2 a mile kitted up ........and still more posts to come.

Superb site thanks.

Hope you get sorted mate.

Anybody know where we can pick up some spanners in saarbrucken, kirky's to tight to let the Germans at it so he is going to do it himself ATeam style but I the Karl Pilkington of navigation need to go and find some spanners. Any tips on what to search for appreciated. Heard of ATU so currently looking at them.

 

[kirky1298]

picked up hall sensor and fuel filter . just doing them now . well , once davy arrives back with tools .

 

[Ogmios]

Tools,
(no, not you two.... although.. )
I'd look for the biggest supermarket i could find - may have a tool section

Good Luck and keep us posted - this is better than Charlie and Ewan

 

[putbinoot]

I have returned on my reliable trusty steed called vstrom. spanzilla is outside as I type doing his shit. Hope it works or the fucker is gettin ditched.

 

[kirky1298]

feck me !!!! thats it i`m on a diet when i get home .

I am happy to report that all is now well

fitted the new hall sensor , took the bike a ride , let it heat up and it is now behaving its self . the temperature gauge is now fine and it runs sweet as a nut with power and throttle response that it has never had in the past 20000 mls .
I´m 230 euro lighter in the pocket but im a happy bunny because we are now back on track and will be riding the B500 tomorrow .

thanks once again for all your help THIS FORUM IS THE DOGS !!!!!

 

[Canuck]

Glad to hear you're sorted!

Did you replace the whole plate? If so, I'd be interested in having it if you want to recoup some of your costs - I've just picked up 2 new sensors so I could refurbish yours and have a live spare.

ISTR that the rev counter flicking all over the place has been strongly, if not definitely, linked to HES

Bill , I can assure you that the temp rid was going mental in time with the bike misbehaving which had the dealership flummoxed and is now ok with the new hall sensor fitted . it may be worth noting in case anyone else has a similar problem . Anyway , we´ve had a couple of sherbets to celebrate and are going for an early night so that were fresh for the B500 tomorrow............ Oh , look that machine in the foyer sells ice cold beer at 1.60 a bottle . later folks

Unplanned events always make for a good trip Bill . It's just unfortunate that it cost so much .

Anyway , we went out for a meal tonight to celebrate . Unfortunately I don't know what the restaurant was called and we didn't take pictures of our food . But it was bloody good . I'll keep you all posted on this thread of any worthwhile events and I'll do a trip report on my return . I just have to add massive thanks to my trip companion Davy , aka putbinoot , aka Karl pilkington
For all his help on scene . You'll all be glad to hear that his antibiotic cream is taking effect and he should be good to ride tomorrow . Massive thanks to everyone once again Jok
