Alright guys I took off my fairings and painted them and decided to also get some of the wires out of the way. I bypassed the tip over sensor and disconnected the front turn signals. Those wires and the rest of them i just zip tied to the wires for the headlight. I left those 2 little boxes that are placed usually right under the tip over sensor hooked up but again theyre just zip tied to the headlight wires.

I started her up and she sounded like ****. Sounded like a facking lawn mower I assumed it was a rattle for sumthing I didnt tighten down on the body. I noticed that the RPMs didnt go up to 3grand but kinda puttsed around at 2k-ish. While i was trying to figure the rattle out the engine just died. Now it will crank over but wont even sputter or start. It only ran for maybe a half a minute or so.

I really dont kno wtf I could have messed up?!?!?! HELP ME IM FACKIN PISSED

 

Did you take the tank off?

When you turn the bike to ON does the fuel pump sound the same as it used to?

 

did you hook up the 2 outside wires together off tip sensor if so then make sure they did not come off also ceck the fuse for the fuel pump

 

Yes i made sure I bypassed the tip over the right way but im gonna check again. I had used a piece of wire in a horse shoe shape and plugged it in the harness and then wrapped it up with electrical tape. When i turn it to on everything seems to be alright and sound fine. It just cranks over and nothing else.

No I did not remove my gas tank yet only thing I didnt paint because I still have to dent it in.

So its nothing to do with the little boxes that usually sit below the tip over sensor in the nose of the bike?

 

Alright well I managed to get it started. I dunno what it was I think it must have been colder out than I had thought and that I hadnt started it up in a while. I finally got the engine to start and held it at 4k untill the temp finally came on and it ran fine (I also re-installed the tip over sensor) with the bike warmed up I re-bypassed the tip over and this time it started right up and ran.

 

from personal experience...... you need to do something better than a ghetto wire horseshoe electrical tape concoction for the tip over.........
Make sure it is a solid connection, because if you are rockin anything faster than idle, and that thing loses connection, you are FU(KED!!!!!!!!!
It happened to me at like 25-30 mph in a seat stander...... OTB it was....
no good.
just something to think about.......

 

can we see pics of said f4i... and you stunting this f4i

 

Pics of F4i yea sure how do I post them?

As for stunt pics u kno Im new and cant really do **** so why are you bothering to ask for them?

That little horse shoe thing is in there pretty tight but I was thinking about using the harness off the tip over sensor and soldering the outside wires together and then just plugging it in.

 

you're new? you been on this for a whiiiiiile, figured you had somethin by now.. just go to manage attachments, and pick the file

 

Leave him alone...Just beacuse your 200+ lbs doesn't mean you can bully him around.....LOL

 

use the front harness or just cut them before the harness and use a butt connecter to put them together and it will be fine

 

why don't you use your tiny hands and asian wings and fly over here n stop me!! i guess you gotta stick up for ppl in your "clan"

 

Here go to www.stephygee.com and download the dealer’s service manual for your F4i for the free! Maybe you can find something it to help you out. Good luck!
