Actully the truth is id done the same thing on the 77 bike,the wire lengths lead you to believe that they go naturally to the wrong sensors.
Glad you sorted it mate.
that'l be one "get out of speeding caed" please mate!:lol::lol:

Sounds like yer battery mate. I don't trust these Optimates at all, in fact I'm fairly convinced the damn thing has already cooked two batteries.

I now charge the tiny battery on the RS the night before I go to the track, and take a Chuff off big car battery with me which connects into the system via an Anderson coupling to up the cranking current for cold starting. This can then be disconnected when the engine is running.

A YX7 isn't that pricey, get a new one!

No it was my wiring...............i got my battery tested and remarkably it was 12.5 and over 300amps!:o

Andy,

Not wanting to come over as smug, but, when you first listed the thread about stripping the bike I said the following ...


Clearly identify the Neutral switch connector on the loom, looks just like another one (rear brake I think) and you can mix them up.


OK, should have said the neutral switch connector and oil pressure connector ... but you get the idea.

Only reason I know is because I got them back to front as well :(

:lol: yeah i know! The length of the two wires really do fool you into believing they go the other way round!

Nooooo .... honest :P

I checked back in to the thread to see how you were getting on and noticed the last few comments on the wiring.

When I took my bike to pieces I thought the engineering was awesome. Then found 2 wires with exactly the same length and same connectors .... reminded me I was working on a Ducati :lol:

Sure the factory smiled when they threw that one in to the design.
