Girly Talk (1999 - 2006 Tigers) / Re: Believe it or not... start...
Last post by Lee337 - April 17, 2024, 10:28:15 AMA bit of a stab in the dark, but could it be a bad earth somewhere?
I say this as my current project, a Daytona T595 has a very intermittent start circuit, sometimes press the starter& it'll turn the engine over, sometimes it doesn't. My issues aren't identical, I have a lot more electrical gremlins that just the one, but they seem to be earth related.
It may also be relay related. At one point the only thing that worked when I turned the ignition was the fuel pump and a click from the ECU, everything else was dead. I replaced all the relays & while it didn't cure everything, I did manage to get the engine to turn over & most of the light to do what they're meant to.

Last post by Titus - April 16, 2024, 08:02:11 PMWell, that would be something, they are tip 152, one of them had leaked (coil 1 driver) but my electronist said its no problem. Ok will change all 3 tomorrow and see what happens.
If you dont let the engine start (wot) you get constant spark, soon as she fires and sparks have to be faster they (sparks) just fade away.
Of course it's a power delivery issue from the ecu, has to be.

Last post by London_Phil - April 16, 2024, 06:20:21 PMLooking back over the forum, there is some evidence that the ecu transistors can fail on the T400, so hopefully the repair will work. Luckily they are not totally SMD boards. I did have one in bits years ago, but unlikely to have the photos anymore..

So yeah, we'll see, I'll check all of the fuses just in case, reconect the battery just in case and take apart the start stop, maybe a hot wire loses conection, maybe...

Last post by London_Phil - April 16, 2024, 05:11:07 PMAnd regarding the fuses, the connectors can become bad, both the main connector for loom to fuse box, and under the fuses themselves.
It's been a few years since I had my Steamer, so I'm struggling to remember, but I don't think there are any other fuses.

Last post by London_Phil - April 16, 2024, 05:09:12 PMMost T400 cdi units will work, they just have different rev limits and some minor timing differences.
Germany has many, as it was very popular over there.
This is probably the best value

Last post by Titus - April 16, 2024, 05:01:42 PMUnplugged everything not related to the starting/ignition - same.
Does it have another fuse besides the main one in the "trunk" the rest are labeled horn/head/stuff like that.
Only place I havent checked for good contact is the start stop switch...could it be? Afraid of springs flying everywhere.
Cdi...yes on the way, but what if its a dud?

Last post by London_Phil - April 16, 2024, 05:00:06 PMThink a swap of the cdi is the next place to go...
