urgent help required!

Ok, so ive been sorting out some botched wiring on my 2003 gsa. Someone had fitted a birds nest of wiring that ran some spotlights and another birds nest that ran....god knows what! It was a thing called an autoswitch AS-5NB. It sll seemed to be interlinked via a hundred Scotch locks.

Anyway, ive removed the autoswitch wiring and just wired in the spotlights via the usual way of using a 30amp relay etc, earthing spot lights and the relay to the frame.

All seems to be working perfectly, all lights work as they should dipped and high etc.

The bike now runs with a very low idle (800rpm where normally 1100 ish) and seems very flat and the engine just wont pull properly.

Battery is charging at 13.5 volts as normal.

Obviously ive had the tank off and it had very low amount of fuel in the tank anyway as I was expecting to do this job. Could this simply be a blocked fuel filter because ive had the tank stood up, making the bike have low fuel supply/pressure?

Any advice welcome, im off to iceland in 10days and this is now worrying me!

ooooooh me first this time

You've displaced the throttle cables in the little cups as they enter the throttle body mechanism......



Have a look .....see the difference?


BAD:

GOOD:

bastard....you beat me....just for that you can find the pictures that I know are on here somewhere....

 

[gerarddwatts]

I got in in quick, then went back and added not only the pic, but some NEW ones

Triple bastard, me

 

[Roadcaptain]

you did forget, it's probably the right one!!

 

[deebee]

Well you're both wrong.

 

[deebee]

No one??

I haven't got a clue

Try resetting the motronic.

Check your TPS voltage

Bugger

Kinked fuel pipe after having tank in odd position?

 

[monkeyboy]

Sounds weird? Have you checked the throttle balance to see if that's right? Is the engine running smoothly but not revving? Im just up the road in soton if i can help. Can't think of anything obvious. Didn't someone their TPS connection the other day. Can you start it and pull the tps connector off to see what happens?

 

[Fanum]

There's a connector for the Lambda sensor in the area under the tank.......I wouldn't imagine that would cause it, but check that.

The autoswitch is a red herring I think, and I suspect the problem will be more to do with the tank being moved on and off, but it is possible that something has been dislodged (maybe the primary coil connections although they are hidden away in front of the motronic unit ) or maybe even one of the Scotchlocks (foul things, should never ever be on a bike) was connected to something that it shouldn't have been

FWIW, my money is still on the throttle cables......I'd check those again, from end to end, including the Bowden box where the single cable from the throttle twist grip is split into two to go to the TBs.....the bowden box is hidden away under the battery and is VERY snug, but it is possible to pull the cables out of place on their cams inside whilst wrenching a big tank around.

Thankyou everyone so much for the suggestions. Ill be trying everything suggested on Monday, my bets on something electrical like a bad ecu earth (which I had unbolted) or something related to the battery being disconnected for a couple of days.
