[Dragstar 650 - Engine management light]

FYI

Fixed it thank god

Noticed that there was a slight nick in the positive wire coming from the loom , that connects to the rear cylinders ignition coil

Wrapped it up and the massive 40bhp has been restored

[Dragstar 650 ECU (CDI) unit question]

Hi,

Did they change across the years ?

IE would a 2001 or 2003 work in a 2005 model?

Same connectors and looking box , and I cant see any difference or changes between years for the dragstar

Regards,

Paul

[Dragstar 650 missing connector ?]

Hey,

Ive been taking a look over the bikes wiring and when i took the cabling apart in the battery/ecu compartment I noticed that the 3 wires coming off the main fuse holder wasnt connected to anything

I am trying to follow the wiring diagram but I cannot trace it

Anyone know where it should be or what should be connected to it ?

Cheers

Ah right, well no problems with it so far anyway, besides my missing 2krpm lol

Yeah , Ill have to bring it into a local dealer at this stage , hopefully it isnt the CDI unit, they cost quiet a bit, maybe just the TPS

Used an alternative speedo cable , was the exact same length as I still had the old one thrown on the garage floor and compared them

update on this:

When driving at 50mph in 5th, if I pull the clutch lever in, and pin the throttle its fine, no management light is thrown up and it revs freely

When i release the clutch and pin the throttle and the revs climb , the light comes on and the revs limit :S

Hey, sorry to bring this thread up again , but did this issue ever happen for you again ?

Same thing is happening to me since the speedo cable broke and its been replaced

I tried disconnecting the loom from the battery overnight, it didnt help :/

Hey,

I have a 2005 Dragstar 650 with 28k miles on her.

Recently the speedo cable broke on me and when I drove it, and tried to redline it , the engine management light would come on and a rev limiter would kick in , like the bike was choking itself , there was 3 flashes of the engine management light when the kill switch was hit

So I replaced the speedo cable thinking it was that causing the issue but its still happening :S

Now there is 4 flashes of the engine management light instead

What has changed since before this happened:

*Engine oil change

*HID kit installed ( No wires modified to do this - its plug & play)

*Basic alarm installed (Only two wires to the battery - no wires modified)

*Speedo cable broken

What i've tried so far:

*Speedo cable replaced

*Disconnecting the the loom and the alarm/HID kit from the battery overnight

*Tested the resistance of the TPS sensor which is reading at just over 6ohms

Anybody ever come across this ?
