Project My Fizzer

Im still practising holding the camera , clutch and throttle and waving to the crowd at the same time

 

No road test as yet .... just more problems

Put the airbox and tank on and as much as it starts better and seems to run better it still has the 'no rev' syndrome every so often
I think I should have used the keyster spacers on the needles , not the originals .... keyster needles are thinner so the original spacers are a little 'loose'

Also I now have no parkers/tail lights ..... parkers flick on + brake light on when u use the front or rear brake
Headlights work but no tail light then either .... of course I have now covered the main wiring and junctions by putting on the airbox and tank ......

 

Yea Id say Ive disturbed something doing the carbs or when doing the ignition as the plug for it is amongst all that bundle next to the thermo housing

 

Well it has LED tail and parker lights ... so I thought I would put in normals in the tail in case they were causing a problem (even though they have been in there for a couple of years with no dramas )

Now the parkers dont light up when u activate the brakes .... but I still have no parkers/tail lights at all .... Im not sure wats worse .... carbys or electrical

 

Apart from it taking 20 minutes to start today , it ran well and didnt stall or chug turning at intersections and roundabouts ..... plenty of punch and hit redline pretty damn quickly in 2nd.

 

Still no parkers/tail lights

Took out all the LEDs
Switch block working fine .... the blue wire is from the parker switch and has power past the plug
but nothing at the tail light plug end or the front parkers ..... headlights , dash lights , brake lights all good

That wire then disappears into the abyss of the main loom

 

not yet

Had all that apart and checked and cleaned them all (as I have with most of the plugs today ) .... theres no power on the tail light wire going into that last plug

I might lay out one of the spare harnesses and try to get an idea what goes where .... from the switch to the front lights and to the back tail ... that single wire from the switch has to branch somewhere to go in 2 directions

If all else fails then I may just split in a wire into the blue active and run it straight to the rear tail ...... I need daytime running lights , especially for this weekend

 

Yea Ill hack into an old harness and see what that main blue does inside all the covering

 

The plot thickens ....

I think it may be the new ignition setup .... had a feeling it could have been it from the start but couldnt think how it would affect the lights

As seen here those blue wires go directly via the ignition and the wires on the new ignition wernt coloured the same.... I just bought an ignition with a 4 wired plug as other FZRs have 3 wired ignitions ... I cut the new plug off and wired in an old lead to match the loom connections .... maybe I have the 2 blues/blacks the wrong way round

I think I have this right ... not that it makes sense to me

 

Yep ... thats the problem .... plugged in the old ignition and instant LIGHTS

Ill have to try swapping the leads around t/m
