Some cotton thread wrapped around your Fanny Bits?? causing your baby to get all hot and sweaty??

What was the question again??

Ps you need to ride in the rain more often.

Please put us out of our misery!!!

Fans going overboard made the air temp sensor think it was cooler than it really was. ECU didn't compensate for the heat, so it was running rich at high revs therefore losing power???

the twist grip got too hot and un-glued from the handle bar and when you twisted it only twisted the grip and not the throttle slide :D

The engine was directly powering the fans and not the rear wheel :D

Are these latteral enough?

Several fans were arrested during a heated exchange???

Jools 06-Jul-2005 17:49

Oooh Henners you are a tease !!!

I'd have a guess, but I can't be ars...:frog:

Fans have cut a wire to temp sensor? or fans vibrate a connection loose?

Henners 06-Jul-2005 18:10

JPM is the winner
 
Somehow the air temperature sensor feed wire managed to get dislodged and came into contact with the edge of the blades on the second radiator fan. When the engine got really hot the fan fired up and the blades started to chaffe through the senor feed wire disrupting the signal and confusing the CPU - which affected the fueling. Once the temperature dropped the fan switched off and the exposed wire intermittently got blown/knocked against the fan housing causing ongoing false readings and bad running.

Carl at Snells figured it all out and showed me how it happened - thanks for joining in folks and 1st place to Freak who got it spot on - except Jools of course who couldn't be ar$ed :lol:

Ooooh

A prize coming my way? A virtual beer? :D

Mark 06-Jul-2005 18:21

smack in the gob ;)

JPM 06-Jul-2005 18:23

It'll be a broked/chaffed wire which has since been replaced :lol:
