Used my mate's Oxford laser chain tool thingy to good effect on two bikes. Quick & easy job to get the little red dot into the centre:
i'm thinking you might know, and even have around 127 of them stashed in a box somewhere. and seeing as you jinxed it for me, i think you owe me. workshop is a bit quieter than normal. the sun is out (30C) get my gear on, tell the boys to enjoy their day, turn the Key, first start up since last week. Press the button..... I think my crank sensor is Gubbed. no spark, no fuel pump during cranking but it does prime when ignition is switched on. 3 pins on the RPM sensor. from memory no3 is a shield/earth. no1+2 are signal wires. maybe it's vice versa. anyhoo. again from memory, the resistance of the sensor should be between 400+1200? ohms with ~600 being the optimum. no mater the combination im getting megaohms resistance with no voltage being produced from the sensor. so, my question is, does anybody have the part No for one? 2007 1100s fugly.
i think i will tax the 848. so if any of you were thinking of heading around the north west over the next few days. cancel it. it's gonna pish down.
Inline 4 cylinder 1100 engine is quite wide and sticks out a bit. If it goes over for any reason the clutch housing and alternator are in line for some damage. Went the whole hog with GB Racing crash protection, even though not intending to take it on track. Clutch side. Later ordered the small casing as well after being undecided Oil and filter changed at the same time, for good measure - 3,000 miles on it already.
damn, only just got in. if you look on one of the titles on this forum, it has all the part numbers and the cheapest alternatives, in fact, blow me down finm - you should know this better than anyone, it's common to the sensor as used on many Fiats!

yip. but my supplier couldn’t order it to the reg number. part ordered now tho. £40+vat for the bosh item. the real pisser to all this is that i do have a spare somewhere. cheers bud.
Started packing for my Germany trip next week..........I will no doubt have unpacked and re-packed another 3 times before I leave next Friday.
I haven't replied to the right post, but I know you had some weeping recently @finm ? when you do your next fuel pump, you might consider doing a couple of mods as below. Not so bad on the old tank, but the fuel pump body mounting face on the "new" tank had proud fixing inserts, which you will recognise from many assemblies you've stripped down I am sure. Just for belt and braces I slightly counterbored the actual fuel pump body also, and I reckon it's bought me 5 to 15thou.
nice one. however, like my ignition failure, I’m getting a lil worried that just by talking about it will cause it to fail. i do not want this to happen before November.
my fuse blades were gungy and one clearly corroded and hampering matters despite me slathering them with neutral ph grease. Loom front/rear multiplug* also suspect and sprayed with contact cleaner. And don't forget the tiny ignition relay (i'm sure you've tried this - can swap with another also used on the bike but not ignition related). *I don't know how this got passed as a reliable, production option - this connector wouldn't be out of place on a Moxiao MX500.
yip, i was going to change the headlight and ignition relay while in there, but as it turns out, the big bag of 30A mini relay's i bought for the bike an age ago don’t seem to work on this bike. odd. Durite 0-727-51
Adjusted drive chain tension and checked tyre pressures and oil. It's quite surprising how the chain tension can change after only moderate distances of a few hundred miles.
Played stooge for my partner who has her IAM RS National Observer re accreditation assessment tomorrow. Great fun Andy
