HELP!!!!!!!!
HELP!!!! Awesome forum you have here.....I’m new to motorcycles in general...and I NEED SOME HELP....I’ve just purchased a 04 CBR 600 off of my neighbor...
Not running.....probably not a good idea....ANyways...it only cost me $1500....Hope its a good deal....
Here we go...
The fuel pump is not running (I can’t hear it prime when key is on) and there is no spark...it DOES TURN OVER....we checked all relays and fuses....all ok......also..the lcd display works and the lights come on....bike will not start
The story goes that the last owner was installing new tail lights with the electronics on, when one of the the wires on the tail lights shorted....he said that the fuel pump quit at that point.....I have jumped it to power and it DOES RUN...(the pump)
Anyways...we thought it was a computer....and bought one.....Guess what? ...it didn’t work (CRY :-(... )
The LED tail light was partially wired when I got it....I can’t tell if its stock or not (I don’t thinkit is), it has the turn signal integrated with it...The way its wired up is with the stop light connector (which has a ground) and two yellow for right & left signal....the two grounds for the turn signals are cut off on the wire harness (bike side). Since the tail light did not have wires for turn signal ground I assume this is right..................After connecting and powering on the both the L/R signals freak out (blink at random (fairly fast)).......The stop light works fine....
I take it that it’s time for some outside help!!!!....Especially since I just wasted about $600 for a cpu!!!!
What’s wrong with the tail light?
Why will the bike not start?
Also I have not checked the tilt sensor on the front.....Just found out about it today...
I know quite a bit about electronics and have both the schematics (wiring diagram) and the service manual that I’ve downloaded
I appreciate any help VERY MUCH!!!!!!
Thanks for your time!!!

RE: HELP!!!!!!!!
Hiyu Eli and welcome aboard the CBRForum mate or miss ?
(sorry your name make's your gender a tad obscure)
A big intro post ......nice one
$1500 not running...? could be good could be bad ....I suppose you will not know that till all the trouble shooting is finished ..
I think I will leave your questions for a while to let the 600 guys have a crack at it ..
You might want to go post just the questions patr of this post into a new thread in the 600 forum for a quicker response ..
Can you not return the CPU since you do not need it ? $600 ..ouch !!
I will digest the rest of this here for a while and get back to you later on ..
Drop into Off Topic for some fun :-)

I am still thinking about your issues (cant yu hear the cog in my head turning over mate :-)
but I think the guys will give you the correct answers a bit faster than I can research them in the 600 forum ..
BTW- Hoshino .....thanks mate
