  1. Sorry for the slow reply, work has been crazy. I got to mess w/it more tonight and found that now any lead coming out of the rectifier is roughly 20v AC at idle up to 70v AC at high rpm. It also looks like it's gotten hot and slightly distorted. Is there a way to test my regulator or should I just get a new regulator and rectifier? Is there a cheap alternative to oem parts?
  2. I bypassed the fan switch and it still didn't come on
  3. I recently purchased an 01 280 txt and on my first outing proceeded to boil it over as the fan is inoperative. If I undo the fan connector and jump 12v and ground to the blue and black wires, the fan will come on. If I reconnect that connector and jump the yellow and blue wires at the thermo switch the fan will not come on. The yellow wire coming into the thermostatic switch has varying AC voltage, about 24v at idle. Someone has cut this harness prior to me buying it, likely to eliminate the lights? I found a single yellow wire coming from a block under the steering stem bearing area. Thinking this may be the voltage regulator for 12v AC, (I circled in red on diagram) I spliced this into my yellow wire coming into the thermostatic switch but it still remains 24v + AC and I still can't get the fan to work. Could anyone please help? I am pulling my hair out. Thanks so much!! James
  4. I'm not so sure. I suspect that if you put 12V to that ECU pin, it puts it into diagnostic mode and outputs the signal that the diagnostic tester displays as a flashing light. If I weren't afraid to fry my ecu I may play w/it
  5. Hey guys, I am pretty good with wiring and such and wondering if anyone has made their own 4rt code reader? I know there is a yellow diagnostic port and in the manual it mentions counting flashing lights on the code reader to determine faults. I am wondering if a 12V power supply and LED could be rigged up to do the same. Any thoughts?
  6. Hey guys, I bought an 09 beta evo and it had a cracked swingarm. The new one came w/o bearings and when I was tearing it all apart, the bearings in the dog bones are like powder. I have to replace the dog bone bearings, seals, swing arm bearings and seals and am shocked at how expensive OEM parts are, as it is totaling up into over 200 dollars. Does anyone know of a better alternative?
  7. Hey guys, I'm travelling to Lyon next week for business but have a bit of down time. Does anyone know if there is a trials shop in Lyon? I tried googling but no luck. Thanks!
  8. So guys, if my bike was a swingarm cracker, does that mean it will also be a frame cracker?
  9. Think you're right! My local dealer is working on hooking me up with a replacement swingarm. Here is the crack:
  10. Hey guys, I didn't see any cracks at the motor mount area but the swingarm did have a crack right in the weld near the linkage. It will be a simple job to re tig weld back together and the seller didn't even know it was there.
  11. Thanks guys, I will definitely check it out for cracking. I can tig weld it back together if needed but the guy said he was aware of the frame/swingarm cracking problems and doesn't have any on this bike. He did say the upper motor mount has come loose several times but I'm sure some red loctite can fix that. We got 6" of snow/ice last night so I may not see the bike until tomorrow.
  12. Sweet! I have my stock bars off my 08 ktm 300 i want to put on, the only downer is I cut them down to 29.5" so it may be a bit strange on a trials bike. As a rule of thumb, how wide should bars be on a trials bike?
  13. I need to put fat bars on my 06 sherco 290 because I keep destroying little 7/8 ones. Aside from getting a new upper triple clamp for 1 1/8 bars, has anyone done this: My link
