So here's the story. I did the F4i gauge swap on my F4. Hooked it up, seems okay after spinning and the lights light up. Finally got the bike started the other day after letting it set for about 3 weeks. But the gauge did not light up, and the clock was still on. That's the first issue....any help?

2nd, after letting it set for a while after i started it, turned it off to work on the fairings. Noticed that if I moved the gauge wires, it would try to light up and do the tach spin. Okay, so I'm thinking one of my wires is not tight enough.

Then all of a sudden, no clock on the gauge...that's weird. Bike won't even turn over now. Brand new battery too, just tested and it's well charged.

I checked ignition wiring and it's connected.
I checked the fuse box...is there only one? I can only find one.

Please, I need suggestions.

 

if you can wait until tomorrow i can post all my wiring when i redid my swap...my bike starts fine and runs good plus the FI light is now fuel low light the paper is just out in my garage...other suggestions i can provide are bad coil maybe...or battery terminals are loose or the start connecters are loose....its these basic stuff actually that need to be gone through...by that time i can havin the wiring posted that i used for my swap
sorry for it having to be tomorrow also
good luck though

 

Great man. I would definitely appreciate the help! I thought bad coils, but the bike wont even turn over or try...

 

i did pretty much go off of a guide already on this forum though

 

The definitive f4 to f4i wiring guide? If so, that is what I used as well. Did you wire anything else? My bike has all sorts of stuff done by previous owner that I have to fix still.

 

my bike as of now has all the wiring screwed up for the rear tailight...thats pretty much it... the colors however for the gauge swap are similar but that will not cause your bike not starting though i dont think gauge just displays doesnt make the bike run...fuel,air, compression make it run. perhaps its in your electronic start switch...im take wild guesses here
test the wires there with the light up wire tester thingy start there and make sure there is power going to the starter and make sure the coil is giving you the spark needed....other than that i cant really think of much more but i might tomorrow....ill take a look and see what i can come up with

 

There should be a main fuse at your starter relay, it should be around the battery - follow the positive wire from the battery to it. Other than that there is probably one more fuse box with lights dash etc. not sure where it is located on the f4 tho. Also check your dash cluster make sure none of those wires grounded out so it doesn't happen again.

 

I've got a new wire harness coming in since things seemed really strange with the wire harness on my bike currently. Wires were spliced left and right!

 

im terribiblly sorry i havent gotten back to you on the wires...i dont know where i placed my guide for the wires that i did....i got a simuliar problem...i start the bike and it runs fine and all that and drives fine then at random times the bike just loss power rapidly and shut down and wont start so im not sure what to do right now...so far its not an overheat issue or plug issue or fuel flow issue im not sure...any ideas

 

i figured out my problem....missing fuel pump hahahhaa im retard pretty much for missing that one...
