But wait, it gets better!
And, yes, it has been a long, long, long time since the last installment to this thread. I haven't rode this bike since November of last year.
Here goes:
I am still waiting for PSI to return a repaired KIPASS ECU to me. The cost is $400 with no warranty. Awesome (not really).
You may recall that I had abused the electrical system on my Connie to the point that the battery failed and took the bike down hard. I have since replaced the DFI ECU with a used EBAY version. The KIPASS ECU is brand new and came complete with 2 fobs with registration numbers. I just got it back from the shop where they hooked it up to KDS3 and got all the new/used ECU's to cooperate. The procedure was successful but not without complications. The mechanic said that the bike is now throwing ABS related codes (43, 52, 53, and 55) so I am not out of the woods just yet.
I rode it home this morning. In addition to the ABS light remaining lit I have observed the following:
- No speedo indication, it doesn't even flinch
- Turn signals don't work, the light comes on solid on the cluster
- The trip odometers don't work, the LCD display works - the number doesn't increment
That's all I had time to notice because I parked/covered it and left for work. I pulled out my greasy/torn owners manual (pdf version) and dug into the first problem - ABS. Did you know that there is an ABS ECU? I didn't. It's inside the Hydraulic Unit. That makes 4 ECUs that I know of (KIPASS, DFI, SLU, and ABS). Based on what I have read so far the Hydraulic unit may also be toast. In the event that I do need to replace it does anyone know what the part number is?
Anyhow, I am not surprised that there are other electrical issues that are popping up. I am experiencing something similar to when my house was struck by lighting many years ago. The electrical transient fried every electrical/electronic thing in my house. I will look into the instrument cluster next.
On the bright side? I didn't blow any fuses. Can I get a hell yeah?
