Hi All,
It appears I'm in a bad spot with my '11 bike. Not sure what caused it but at some point between my last ride and trying to start the bike again, all sorts of bad has happened. When I turn the key, I get nothing but loud clicking (dealer says it's the glove box relays firing) and no fuel pump cycling. The bike turns over but doesn't start. Took it to dealer and after 15 hours of troubleshooting including swapping parts off of a new off the floor model, they've determined that the issue is a bad ECU and or wiring harness. To replace both is going to run close to $5k.
What are my options here? Try a used ECU without the harness? Part out the bike? Anything else to try?
Looking to the expertise here to try and figure out a solution. Thanks in advance.
Firstly I would have them try the ECU in the bike they are using for testing in their shop,if it works ok in the other bike than obviously its not the ECU.
Than I would get a genuine workshop manual and start testing voltages to components,that's after I cleaned all the earths and tried another battery.
Unless the bike is blowing fuses i.e., dead short, than they is only one other cause an open circuit be it power or earth in the wiring or a component/s.
