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

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

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 ?
