Did your bikes run like **** when you unplugged your gauges? Mine doesn't run right unless they're plugged in.

 

I think i remember reading that u have to ground a wire to make it run right without guages. Their is a solinoid that switches between the hoses that look like deer whistles and the normal ram air at 10-20mph. The solidnoid is switched on and off according to the signal from your speed sensor and I think it all runs threw the guages. When the solinoid isn't switching right it will run like crap at low rpms.

Check www.cbrworld.net for the specific wire u have to ground.

 

yea man, or they dont run at all.

I took my guages off and the fuel pump didnt work. the fuel pumps are designed to cut out if the ENGINE light comes on.

i run an aftermarket pump on a switch now

 

My gauges didnt work when I got the bike so I am not sure

 

um, why would you choose not to have guages?

 

alright we got a couple more street-riding problems. Without the gauges plugged in the front brake switch doesn't work (don't have the rear hooked up) and the turn signals don't work. Anybody got those figured out?

 

what exactly is it doing?

ever since i took my guages off the bike has been idling fine but bogs out when i get on it. i assumed it was a vacuum problem from the fire but could this maybe have something to do with it??

 

yeah my **** is doing the same thing w/o the gauages hooked up

 

there's a solid pink wire on one of the plugs for the gauges. You gotta ground that wire to the frame to get rid of the bogging because it's the solenoid for the ram air that switches when you hit a certain speed.

I'd still like to figure out how to get my brake lights to work without the gauges plugged in though.

 

HOLY **** THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU I CANT THANK YOU ENOUGH I JUST DID THAT AND ITS RUNNING LIKE A ****** CHAMP AGAIN!!! I HAVENT RIDDEN THIS THING IN MONTHS BECAUSE OF THAT STUPID BOG AND NOW IT WORKS THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

tell me, does your brake light still come on when you hit the front brake with your gauges unplugged? Mine stopped working and it's ****ing pissing me off, I still ride this thing on the street and don't wanna get rearended.

 

nope. i dont really give a fukk tho, the brake lights are dim as hell and people can only really see them at night anyway

 

weird, i've never had a problem with mine at all since i removed the guages.

no bog, turn signals work, brake lights work.....

works fine for mine, corey's and wiggin's bike and none of us have guages.

 

Once again, why would you want to remove the gauges?

 

god damn, you ever heard of a streetfighter?

that and the guage panel on f2's and f3's is huge and stupidly ugly.

 

my **** bogs w/o the gauages but still have brake lights.. Im going to try grounding the pinky and see if it bogs.Im sure if it worked on his it will work for mine.Will see ill post back.

 

now that's ****ed up...how is that possible

 

Yeah, I've heard of a Street Fighter, hell I've gotten some of the magazines and seen bikes with gauges still. I understand the looks over function part though.

 

Crashes = broken parts.. why replace expensive gauges, not like you need them.

<--- that bike has none, F4 (never had a problem without, prolly just an f2/3 thing)

 

Function? What do you need them for?
