drewpy replied to DutchFJ1200's topic in Classics
check wheel bearings too can transmit through the drive chain -
try the earth first. clean the area. undo the block connectors and spray with contact cleaner and a bit of acf or equivalent

The Yamaha Enticer is an entry-level cruiser motorcycle that was produced from 2002 to 2006 in India. I've no idea how to comment as never heard the engine run, If yamaha service centre says its gone, then I would assume they would know. Looks like a similar engine would fit, but you would need the electronics with it too. Sounds like it's above your knowledge though unless you know a sympathetic motorbike tinkerer nearby.

inn have a ride on different bikes if you can, even if its just a sit on. You'll soon get a feel of what they feel like with the balance etc. -
FAQ's for the site NOT bikes

yep, get it started first, easier to sell and get more money for it.

process of elimination rather than swapping parts. bypass the switches one by one. When I had issues like that, it turned out to be a fault in a wire from the sensor even though it ohm'd out ok

I run a '96 TDM850 and its taken me everywhere. Simple to work on and very popular in europe. MT-07 is light and newer and probably my choice.

Kevin, As I've already explained I would do. I've messaged Alex and he's promised to get back to you today or tomorrow. He also says check your spam folder in your emails

i swapped my fz600 engine for a 91 version and had to use the correct ecu. it wouldn't start and there should was a very long (over 6month) fault finding escapade. It was down to 1 wire wittch tested ok, but failed when electricity was used. check your ecu number and google that, I may have one in my shed somewhere as I did the same thing. Wasn't until i bypassed the loom was the error found
