Hey guys, first post here. I have been combing through the forums a lot here anonymously and have troubleshoot at least 3 different things but i'm having an exhausting issue
Model: 2005 Honda CBR1000RR
I bought this bike in Dominican Rep. which I promise is the worse place in the world to buy a vehicle ( low income country = neglected maintenance ) I bought this bike legally with some known issue. I got the back suspension replaced cause it felt like a bouncy castle. Was doing some road tests getting to know the bike and the bike shut off on me had to get it towed back home; was the kill switch it was corroded beyond repair, fine that cheap - fixed. Replaced the starter gear that engages because it was worn - 200$ no problem.
I got on the bike and stopped to use the washroom when I was about 50km from my home and it would not start again; was very frustrated at this point cause my 50cc honda mailboy bike is more reliable. I started investigating and found out the fuel pump connections were bad so I just bought a whole new fuel pump while I was at it for 60 $ off ebay along with the seal, I replaced the connectors because they were old and the wires were corroded and wires were still I got a good quality 3-pin marine connector. Started it up got about 5 mins down the road and it died.. Installing a new fuel line was a bit too long and it kinked - fine that on me fixed.
Went to finish everything today and now I am getting like 3 volts on the fuel pump prime line and constant 12 V on the fuel level sensor line ? what is going on ?
I started taking some tape off cause maybe there was a short and I found the ground wire running up from the fuel pump to the left side of the bike was melting I turned it on again and it did a little smoke show. I replaced the whole line carefully and it has ground again, no smells, no smoke. but no fuel pump prime.
Ideas?
the battery is new ( Undervoltage from sitting? says 11.8 V
BAS - I replaced the lines on the blinker successfully cause the owner before me did the twist-wire job and it fell off
the fuel pump runs when I hook it up to a 12V test battery.. this is not really the question here but good to add.
Why am I not getting my 12 V on the fuel pump prime for 3 seconds like I used to?
Killswitch is in RUN state.
