ECU not Visible - 2000 R1150GS

[Jughead]

I'm about ready to get out the 357Mag though 

Stop being so elusive! 

Out with it, NOW!  What have you not got?  Spark or fuel?

[Onions]

Don't know yet.

Got the 4 new relays in and haven't been able to get any spades small enough to make the link cable for the side stand switch so will have to take the smallest ones I got this arvo and squeeze them down to fit. Once sorted will do the spark and fuel test and come back to you.

[Onions]

Jughead.

Ur probably still in bed lucky sod. It's 930 here.

Ran side stand loop, 4 new relays ignition on - no spark.

Took side stand loop out - ignition on again - no spark.

Didn't check fuel as I would say it is geeting through - I can smell it.

I goota attend to some other matters so by the time I get back u should be up and about.  FARK.

[Onions]

Also whatever it is appears to drain battery very quickly - after 3 to 4 starts labours hard.

Battery is good been checked out by Battery World (Specialists).

OK.

Remove the front engine cover and check to see whether the alternator pulley (the one you removed to replace the HALL sensor) is still in place.  Unfortunately that bolt is not a left hand thread and will tend to unscrew itself if not tightened properly, leaving you without the pulse for the coils.

Did you lock the motor when you tightened the bolt?

[Onions]

No didn't lock the motor. Didn't think I would have to.

[Jughead]

Ah!

My bet is that it has unscrewed itself, leaving you screwed! 

[Onions]

Be as close as I have gotten in a long time OK I'll go and pull cover and get back to you.

Is their a locking pin port in the front of the motor - I know there's one at the flywheel.

[Onions]

U were right I'm screwed it came undone - I'll locktite the sucker this time.

No, no locking port on the front.  Only on the flywheel.

Glad you came right.  Now go ride the bike!   

[Onions]

It lives. I'll wait half for the locktite to go off.

Jug if u or Wayne C are ever over here in Brisbane Qld Australia let me know I'll buy you a beer and you can borrow one of my bikes to ride.

Thanks muchly for your help.

The Maroons rule mate.

[WayneC]

Jughead so you understand the Oz humour

Maroons are footballers with a touch of the sun who dress in dark pink and play an irrelevant Australian form of football better known as thugby, the opposing team from the only southern state silly enough to like thugby dress in blue which is probably a good idea as they have been perennial losers for the last decade or so. There are even annual bets between the political leaders of these States as to whose team is the biggest bunch of thugs.
