pulled it out of the garage last week & it kicked over first time
let it run for 10 minutes, turned it off then kicked it over It started 1st time again
let it run for a bit and ooking at the tacho it was running at over 2000 rpm so I turned the screw in a touch so it was running nicely at about 1850rpm
at the same time I tucked the wiring that runs from the ignition behind the clip under the regulator......
turned it off then when I came to restart it wouldn’t start, did the reset, still wouldnt start
so I looked at that wiring from the ignition & took off some loose electrical tape & pulled it out from the clip
seen there was a crack in the insulation & when I looked inside I found this
anyone know what it is? Surely can’t be from the factory?
Might be as simple as opening up the fuel injection screw half a turn & trying again then once you get it going set it at 1700 rpm + or - 100 from memory
Done about 8 hours practice over the last 2 Sunday’s & the bikes running great
generally riding for about an hour then leaving for about 20 minutes before riding again & bike starts 1st kick with perhaps the last ride of the day when I have to do the reset thing to get it started
this similar to what others experience?
then drive home for say 30 minutes & it starts 1st time before I clean it
Thanks lineaway will see what it’s like on Friday & up it to 1,850 rpm minimum as you recommend & go from there
still makes me wonder why my issue started in the 1st place
thinking on I had a workshop fit apico clutch plates along with headstock bearings & a couple of other jobs & I’m wondering if they may have lowered the idle rpm
Used tachometer earlier was ~ 1,450 rpm so increased it to 1,800 rpm which did feel & sound high so dropped it to a little over the bottom limit ~ 1,750 rpm
still not starting from cold on 2nd kick as previously did but starting & running plus fan kicking it frequently
coolant at correct level
will continue to monitor it before getting out properly once it’s warmed up a bit 🥶🥶
as mentioned I’ve removed the bank angle sensor& fitted that widget I bought on line so hopefully can eliminate that
i got the 3 to 3 1/2 turns out from fully in for the idle off this site when I was looking for tips on how to fix the bike
i do have an apico hour/tachometer but can’t get the tachometer to work......
will look at freeing off the throttle cable & also the thin washer behind the throttle stop (where is that?) when I start to check the electrics with the MM
i am starting to think it’s fuel related as the plugs not wet
@Cookiemonster did you successfully get this clutch change done? I have just bought dimpled plates but not tried fitting them yet and was looking forum for advice on this. Keen to hear how it went and if you noticed difference with the new plates.
Cheers

Yes fitted the full apico kit but had it done by inch perfect with some other jobs
Clutch now starts to disengages about mid way on the lever range rather than at the end
Anyone know what this is??

Thanks Spen, it is indeed what you say, data tag chip, glad I didn’t throw it away!
hi lineaway, I’ll see if I can straighten the wiring when I put the chip back in
had this starting issue earlier in the year so hopefully it is just turning out the adjuster enough to get it started
should have left it alone at 2k rpm🤬
