Misfire After Fitting New Batery

Boxed-in · Jun 4, 2005

I've fitted a new Hawker Battery to my 2002 GSA after the old battery died. I needed to adjust the battery leads fractionally but don't think that I moved any of the underlying wiring.

Bike now fires up first time but it sounds as if it's runing on one cylinder, the plugs a sooting up instantly etc. etc. Sounds like a bag of Nails

I've got to assume that I've knocked a sensor off or something, any suggestions what to check first?

You've probably dislodged the throttle cable. Look at the cable where it connects to teh throttle bodies. It should look like this

and not like this

Thanks to Mike O for the piccies.

If that isnt teh cause, remove the fuse for teh motronic (#5 from memory). Wait afew minutes and then replace. Turn ignition on (but dont start it) fully open and close the throttle twice. This resets the TPS> Switch off and back on again, start, ride and report back Soldier.

Did you remember to reset the TPS by turning on the ignition and opening and closing the throttle a couple of times?

Thanks

Thanks to "Tiapan" for the advice in this forum!! I had move the tank to address a fuse issue on a starcom comms set I had fitted on the airbox and inadvertantly moved the throttle cable out of it's seat.

Scratched my head, took out plugs, examined all electrics that I may have disturbed and still running like a Russian trawler. Until I read this advice that is!! I worship the great "Tiapan", (whoever you are), I can now sleep at nights!!! You've got a pint from me when we meet!!
