seanya1604 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have had some issues with my bike and really need to take it to someone who knows what they are doing and aren't just going to throw parts at a problem.I am having the following problems and am doing more damage than not working on them:1. Engine bogging in 1st/2nd gears when gets above 210 degrees or so. Dealer said to try throttle body, but I would have to get the work done and they couldn't guarantee it being fixed.2. Turn signal not working. I put a custom signal on and now it's not working.3. There seems to be some radiator fluid leaking when I ride. Can't determine the source.4. I have a Power Commander that I put on, but the dealership unplugged because they said it wasn't doing anything positive.I'm debating just putting a cover on it and giving up. It has been sad to watch these problems occur and not have the skill to fix them. If anyone is skilled and has some free time this remaining winter, I'd love to chat.Please help! :confused:Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Bogging at high temp indicates rich running condition. Custom blinker not working indicates led issue, need load resistors or led-specific blinker box. Maybe dealership botched the power commander un-install? Could account for your bogging issues. Maybe power commander install was done poorly by an amateur? Could account for it not doing anything positive. I would get stock and power commander wiring diagrams and check against what is in your bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgbgt89 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I have no experience with watercooled bikes, should they run that hot? He's right about the bogging caused by being too rich. Could be something as simple as plugs though. Does it have an aftermarket pipe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkow97 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 I consider 180 to be "up to temp" and run up to 220 on a hot day at the track. A stock bike should have the fans kick on around 212 and should never get above 225 or so. At 240, shut the bike off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 6, 2012 Report Share Posted February 6, 2012 Download a good map for the Power commander and reinstall it, bet that will fix the bogging issue. It's ridiculously simple to do2 wire flush mount signal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 what dealership are you taking it to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meanie Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Was it bogging before the stealership disconnected the PC?If it was it was either installed incorrectly or the map is way off.I'm sure there is a youtube video showing you how to connect a PC3 to your bike. Google it.If the map is way off, you can get on Honda CBR forums and I'm sure someone will share a map. While a generic map should work without much issue (as long as it is for your type and year bike and the bike itr came from has similar mods), there is no substitution for a dyno tune. I would find a video, verify you PC3 is connected correctly, try to get a generic map and verify the bike is running better. Then talk to dynotune Brian. As for the blinker, what do you mean it's not working? Not at all? Blinking too fast? staying lit constantly? Need a little more details.....

J_Copeland Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm pretty sure your bike reverts back to the stock tune once the PC is disconnected.Maybe the stock tune or ECM is messed up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm pretty sure your bike reverts back to the stock tune once the PC is disconnected.Maybe the stock tune or ECM is messed up.it is supposed to. I have heard on a couple freak occurences where the ECM didn't reset and had to be "manually" reset. One was an 05 600rr so although unlikely it seems a little possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imprez55 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 what dealership are you taking it to?This, also what mods are on it besides a disconnected power commander and flush mounts. I agree with the cause of the problems that have already been stated here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I put an aftermarket slip-on on. I remember leaving a gas station one day and all of the sudden, the bogging started. I put the PC on much later, thinking it would fix the richness.Didn't do anything.I took off the slip on and it was still bogging.It just seems like the more I'm in there, the more I screw up. I desperately want to pay someone to do it and even watch the work if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I took it to Ohio Motorcycle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I think the map was correct. Regardless, it bogs without it. If anyone is up for some extra coin, please let me know.Thanks for all the feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grapesmuggler27 Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Put your slip on back on, re install pc and get the bike to dyno tune Brian stat. Also try changing the plugs and clean the objectors, if it was running to lean you may have got them clogged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJC1000rr Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 (edited) +2 on that. I would save the current PC map to your computer and download the closest map from their site to get a ballpark and save it to the pc3. Then you could reinstall the slip-on and plug in the PC making sure the correct injectors are used. (Lower ones) And you get the TPS sensor on the correct/left? side under the frame. (If same as 07 etc?) Then take it out to DTM-Brian for a few pulls with air/fuel logging to see whats going on. He'll be able to tell pretty quickly if somethings wrong with the fuel amount.As for the lights, as said..it could be a the LED's lacking a resistor. Bad wiring shorting out or a poped fuze. (Check Under seat and up on the side) I poped one on my old 04 600RR and they stopped working also.If the bike was running very rich, which it very well could have been. The plugs may have been fouled up and could probably use a replacement to make sure your getting a good spark and ignition of the fuel spray.

gixxie750 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 stator or battery. Can u tell what side of bike leaks the antifreeze? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 You guys are pretty damn good. Thanks for all the advice.Not sure which side on the leak. It collects on the middle of the two side fairings. I'll take another look though tonight.Sounds like Brian is the go to on this. I have the slip on back on and the PC is just sitting in the bike unplugged. I'll have to debate going back in there again. Thanks guys!

crazbiker4 Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 What RPM does it bog at? Does it bog in the low RPM then is ok at a higher RPM? Do you have any ignition controlers? Do you have any check lights? For the turn sig issue... + 1 on checking the fuse. If you put Leds on and everything was in working condition then they would blink faster then normal. I would also make sure the wires are not crossed. And for the coolent issue, how much fluid is in the res? Does your rad have a hole in it from a stone and is blowing to another part of your bike? This can happen if the leak is from the in/out hoses... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seanya1604 Posted March 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Bogs around 1,500-3,000. Higher it is usually ok. So I get to a cool downtown spot, go to show off the sound, and then it bogs out and almost stalls and I look like tool of the month. I did check the fuse and that was as far as I got. I'll check for cross wiring.I have to check the res. It doesn't seem to leak unless it's on, so good idea with the hoses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymanthree Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 How's the coolant temp sensor? That could cause it to run rich on a FI system... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
