Electrical issue(s) after rain

Does the bike have a stepper motor to control idle speed?

Howie that's a very good question... that I cannot answer I don't know, google doesn't know!

Does the bike have a stepper motor to control idle speed?

No, not on the S2R800.

[Howie]

I asked that question because I don't know how they are equipped on the other side of the pond.  No stepper motor means you need the fast idle lever and the idle speed is adjusted with the air bleeds.

[pmazdan9]

I've tried messing around with air bleed screws before but can only set the idle lower than 1000rpm.

Also it looks like the ECU is capable to set the idle in relation to temperature by looking at TuneECU but that might simply not work for whatever reason. I don't mind using the fast idle lever BUT I want to be able to set the target idle higher, 1k is too low.

What are the other options other than the throttle stop screw, which is not very accessible and is not the best solution afaik?

[ducpainter]

Your ECU is capable, but without a stepper motor there's no connection between the ECU and the throttle bodies, other than the injectors.

Thank you ducpainter this is a very good point!

I created new thread for idle and another problem I have with it as it's all unrelated to my original psot in this thread. Link:

I will update this thread once I get the dash back from Mark.

Update

Mark called me and said there's nothing he can do I purchased second hand clocks from ebay, they're off 620 with unknown circiut board. Hope it's white in which case I'd send it to Mark again to copy my mileage, otherwise I'll send it back for a refund I guess.

Right, it's time for an update for future readers

Dash off 620 fits to s2r 800 (read edit!). I took it to Vaughan Miles (digidash.co.uk), this pal swapped eeproms for £80. Now it displays and updates correct total mileage, but I noticed the trip meter resets every time the key is turned off. I guess this eeprom is corrupted; Vaughan said he'll swap them back and copy the data instead (free of charge). This way I'll have confrimed working eeprom and correct mileage, chasis/vin numbers, immobiliser and whatnot. Happy days!

/e: ok so I went there and we swapped eeproms and copied data instead. No luck, it got worse in fact, lcd was displaying some rubbish instead of digits and it was resetting to 0 anyway. Vaughan said the reason is it's not an s2r dash, circuit board looks exactly the same but it isn't, it's got a different part number. He's had that before with a car dash and there's no solution to fix it other than buying an exact same part nubmer, which is not an option in my case. I can live with no trip meter though, everything else works. I recommend Vaughan Miles 100% he's really nice chap, very helpful, oh and he rides a ducati

The total miles casually reset to 0 while I was riding to work today. Turning key off and on doesn't do anything, wrong 'new' mileage is still there. So my 2005 bike has 1 mile. Also last week on my way to MOT centre, front wheel bearing failed. I know it's not something that breakes in a second, but it started knocking and vibrating a lot just then. So it costed me another £60 to replace.

I've had enough. I swear to god I'm selling this make the beast with two backsing piece of crap, this is ridicoulus.

[pmazdan9]

Observation: I plugged in old dashboard out of curiosity and it now displays correct miles and saves them (thankfully I have my bike's data on both eeproms). Miles no longer reset to "-----", however the trip meter resets. Both dashes have a problem with indicators, right works fine, left - they both blink. None of this makes any sense, there must be some electrical issue. I should inspect the wiring harness I guess, great.

Also it started squeeking (?) from the front end when accelerating/braking/going over bumps, it kind of sounds like plastic to plastic rattle, or rubbing a baloon - never heard anything like it before. Forks are not leaking, got new brake pads and wheel bearings. Strange.

I'm test riding mv agusta on Friday. I love my monster, it looks and sounds amazing... but I reached the point where I actually might sell it because its a ridicoulusly unreliable money pit.
