K/N filter , area P full exhaust , flies removed , PCIII , map from fuel Moto .
Starting fluid was used as a diagnostic tool , to confirm no spark . Sprayed into the opening below headlight first . No visible corrosion on either of the 2 grounds connected to the frame near the battery , 1 goes to the battery and the other goes to the engine .
Battery shows 12.83 vdc using my Fluke multimeter . BUT , gauge cluster only shows 9-10.4 vdc .
I have a Kawasaki service manual . I am going to remove grounds again this evening , and scuff both cable ends and where the cables contact the frame
Going to talk with dealer tomorrow , hopefully they will have a simple answer .
Thanks for all responses
this is getting very painful to watch.
how does spraying starter fluid into the front intakes, or airbox verify spark? especially when the butterfly's are closed....?
nope... bad test.
as for volts on display.... while cranking does it drop? or wasn't that tried?
you don't have enough volts to actuate the fuel pump correctly, and also the fluttering buzzing on the throttle sensor/actuator is a sign of low volts... there is missing/low volts to ECU feedback to stabilize it.
Immobilizer warning is a sign of low volts, and F! errors also are driven by volts... it needs correct volts to do anything, so the connections you say are fine, on the battery itself, are still suspect.. till you actually abrasively clean them... we cant say why you dont have volts....
also, if you cannot invoke the actual error codes present, by pressing both buttons for over 2 seconds with the ignition switch on.... you probably still don't have volts...
everything related to analysis requires correct voltage thru the bikes electronicsUntil you can invoke the error codes, there is not much that can be done here by us, to help... and when you do get correct volts, and can invoke the code readouts,
there will likely be about a half dozen of them showing... we just did this last week on the COG forum with another forum member,who recently installed a NEW battery...
and went thru this whole thing.. exactly... but they hadn't done any parts mods. The errors that showed up in the codes would have made you think every major system on the bike was shot...
this is what popped up on his...
23 - Camshaft position sensor (EX) malfunction, wiring open or short
24 - Speed sensor malfunction
26 - Camshaft position sensor (IN) malfunction, wiring open or short
59 - Valve timing abnormal
64 - Air switching valve malfunction, wiring open or short
all were induced by low volts to system... and all, including F1 cleared themselves once battery corrected, and a short ride to allow system to re-read systems and reset.
while you are at it, have the battery load tested... I don't care what your volt meter is saying, or what brand it is, NEW batteries can be failed batteries and your voltage readings lead to suspect this.
as you did finally reveal some of the changes made, after the fact, like the PCIII, flies removed, and other stuff, which we really needed to know right off...
I'll ask again....
did you install ZX14 throttle bodies on this bike?I can't see how "talking" to the dealer will give you anything, and likely even if the bike was taken there, a tech will probably be a clueless as the dealer himself...
