everything works..when i unhook the pink/green speedo wire from the dash the bike will ride good, when its plugged in, it will die after a couple min of riding, idk if it dies at a certin speed, or if it dies at a certin temp, or what, i just know ive been riding it for a few weeks with it unplugged with no problems..i do need to know how fast im going though..tia

 

If you can get a wiring diagram to check were that wire goes, It could be a sensor or something giving off too much volts to your gauges. If you can test the volts being sent to your gauge with that wire then check the specs on it, same with the other end.

 

will do, im having a hard time messing with it in a troppical storm atm. lol

 

my thought is that there could be a short in that circuit causing it to cut the engine off when hooked up

 

its a nice day today im going to try and find time to tinker with the volt meter today

 

Hi all,

Thank you for the responses, I finally figured it out. The problem was electrical due to the fact that I changed the dash for an aftermarket unit. In this process I didn't realize that in the wiring diagram the 20km/h (pink/yellow) wire is a sensor related to the ram air solenoid. Since this was closed when I was at speed the engine was basically being starved and hence the inconsistent throttle response. Thus if you are not using a dash, or are using an aftermarket dash, you need to ground that wire to open up the ram air. The bike is running perfectly now!

thank you for your suggestions and help.

stole this off another thread..should i give it a shot too since my speedo isnt working ??
