Hi Guys,

Could you please help me to troubleshoot the following issue.

The bike rides well generally but it has a very rough IDLE, it is not stable as shown in the video below, specially when it warms up. Also when it is very warm, it drives awfully, it missfires a lot and it seems like it has got no torque at low revs at all. In city enviroments I need to rev it more than 3k rpms to avoid stalling and then release the clutch. 





I have done the following that greatly improoved the bike performance but left me still with the issues named before: 

  • Compression test (All cylinders more than 11bar) Great cheers
  • Valve clearance check and adjustment - All seems correct
  • Change Spark plugs (No lean condition, a bit of soot even on the old ones)
  • Injection syncronization
  • "Z" shaped tube change
  • Check for vacum leaks - No change in IDLE


To Do:

  • Change temperature sensor. (I don´t think this is the right thing to do as the engine runs fine when cold and the fan has been working fine), I am aware that it is a dual sensor though)
  • Change fuel filter
  • Keep troubleshooting


Has any of you had similar issues and could point me in the right direction?


Cheers

My first guess would be coils.

Lots of good troubleshooting here: http://www.kforum-tech.com/electrical/EFI/bike-wont-start-EN.htm

Hi my friend,my first thought is to change/test HT leads and sparkplug caps as well as coils
good luck.you dont say if the engine ran ok at any time before.

Hi Guys,

Thank you for the answers, I will start testing the coils and leads for issues. I will keep you up to date with the answers.

The bike actually runs fine when cold, and it does not have any lack of power/missfire after 2.5k revs.

Regards.

Sounds like the temp sensor, have been there before.
Replace the bugger.
1 lead of the sensor is the fan, hardly breaks.
The other is for the EFI, how many fuel it has to give. There it goes wrong.

I had a local guy come by with similar symptoms.  Swapped in other coils and issue went away.  That's why my first guess above was coils.

yep threw 6 coils away last year  all measuring open circuit , im sure they worked ...to some degree, but not good enough

most of the older greyish original coils I have measured were very close to 10,000 ohms (10k) and work well if leads , plugs (inc thimbles ) and plug tops are kept in good order.

Hi Arlina, impressed. Is that just a great ability in English, or is bugger a Dutch word too?

I think it's time for me to replace the 'bugger' too in the K100.  Do you have to drop the coolant to do this or can the swap be done without this added bit of work?

It can be done without dropping the coolant with a proviso that that surface and threads are clean. Once you are able to access the sensor you can do a quick swap and loose a little coolant. You can also make up a rubber bung and do it at a more leisurely pace and probably loose roughly the same amount. Top up the small amount of coolant that you have lost after cycling the coolant. Do not use thread tape or sealant on the threads of the sensor it will cause problems with the sensor obtaining a good earth. If the threads are fouled or corroded you will have to drop the coolant in order to clean.
Regards Martin.

When I did mine I either used my thumb or finger to block the hole until I positioned the new one. Don't have the radiator cap removed when you do it, otherwise the coolant with gush out.

yep ...all the above

usually always the threaded section on the temp sensor is corroded , requiring cleaning

don't know if copper slip when reinstalling could be a good idea ...but makes sense that it could help

good luck

Hi guys,

Thank you for your answers, here is some updates to the troubleshooting process:

I have replaced the temperature sensor as per recommended.  The circuit was very rusty, I just had time to do one cleaning cycle with distilled water. I am trying to get some chemical rust cleaner to give it another couple of cycles to eradicate completely the rust from the system but it's getting a difficult task to get some of these cleaners here in Spain...

By the way, I have been using some Copper Slip to screw the sensor in and it looks like an amazing grease to have in your workshop for electrical stuff. Thank you for the tip cheers


Here is a video of the bike  with the engine cold on idle after the sensor change:




I have to say that the bike runs way smoother in every situation with completely stable idle when cold. It was running too rich before, now it's more like it´s got the right fuel/air ratio for any engine load and rpm ranges. 

Unfortunately, all the issues did not go away with just a sensor swap (that would be too easy... Rolling Eyes ), when it warms up a slightly unstable idle appear as per shown in the video below:



One really odd thing happens. When I press the starter button with the engine running and have no gear engaged no change in rpm happens. But, if any gear is engaged and the clutch is pressed and then we test the mixture with the starter button again, the idle rpm lowers about 100-200 rpms... affraid


I have been thinking about this and my first try was to check the spark plug leads, they were a bit corroded so I clean them a bit and put some Copper Slip on them. That didn't make any improvements, I even checked unplugging and moving all the spark plug caps one by one but I don't think there are any out-of-cylinder sparks happening.


So I need some advice here, my next step will be to replace the whole electrical ignition system : coils, HT "Realm" leads and Hall sensor. Or do you think I should be focussing more on the fuel injectors and fuel line?

Regards.

Back on September 25 you indicated you were going to replace the fuel filter? Have you replaced it, or inspected it? Is the interior of the tank clean, are the hoses inside the tank 30R10 type, in good condition and connected well?

Distilled white vinegar is a very food cooling system cleaner.  Get a gallon (4 liter jug) and fill the system.  Run the engine to warm it up and let it sit over night.  Drain and flush with distilled water before refilling with antifreeze.

Which make/ref of spark plugs did you install?
Are the HT wires original?
How did you achieve your synchronisation? It is not because the depressions are equal in all circuits that the synchro is good. It is important to check that when you tell the injection brain that the throttles are closed (the famous clic when turning the gas handle) the throttles are effectively closed. Otherwise the calculator makes wrong gas mixtures calculations, which can lead to the problems you mention.

The tank looks cristal clear, I have checked the filter and looks quite clean, aniway I have order a replacement just to eliminate unknowns....  The hoses look good with no leaks/cuts.

For the syncronization, it was done at an expreienced BMW garage so I cannot go deep into the details for that matter. The click when turning the gas handle works perfectly fine, there is a bit of tolerance but expected.

The Spark plugs are NGK D7EA as per recomended. 

Here is also attached some images of the spark plugs in theri current status.

Based on those images I think the combustion is quite good now, please let me know if I am missing something.

The HT leads are the original ones and I have had oreder new "REAM" new ones as a replacement as a couple of them fit a bit loose, but I don´t think is causing any out-of-cylinder sparks.

Thank you again for your answers.

Thank you again for your answers.
 I would not be that affirmative about the absence of out of cylinder sparks in case of 25+ years old HT leads. Operating your engine in the complete dark without the plate hiding the spark plugs you might see sparks leaving through the leads.

To have a confirmation that the synchro was properly done, watch how your "starter" behaves. When the handle is turned to its maximum, and assuming the cable is not loose, the screw in the middle of the throttles drive should raise by 2.5mm. The shorter that gap the worse is the synchro at the idle speed level (not all 4 throttles closed).
The click is not a sign that the synchro is correct. It is mainly a signal to the injection brain not to inject any fuel in case of engine braking - gas handle at zero - above 2000 rpm. It avoids the "farting" in case of engine braking!

The reason why I asked the type of spark plug was to make sure that you had not fitted one with a R in its code. That R means that the spark plug is resistive, generally around 5 kOhm.
Against parasites the k2v were designed with about 7 kOhm between coil and spark plug electrode. Those 7kOhms consist in 5 kOhm in the HT lead plug side (it is written on them), and two on the coil side. If you mount a resistive spark plug, the total resistance becomes 12 kOhms, which seems detrimental to the spark quality.
Now, if you install a set of RAM HT leads the situation might become opposite... Those leads, which I use on my K1100 since more than 100 000 km, have a total resistance around 2 kOhm only. That lower resistance makes a difference on K1100 (they heat and eventually consume less, probably because of better sparks). For unknown reasons the K1100 feature the same spark plug caps as the k2v, plus resistive spark plugs, which makes 12, a lot against parasites.
If you install a HT line of 2kOhm only (2 in the RAM lead and 0 in the spark plug), you risk to create parasites. I do not think that dividing the total resistance by almost 4 would damage your coils, but better being careful...
So, unless you do not care about parasites and eventually your coils, with your RAM leads, it might be wise using resistive spark plugs, in order to keep the same total resistance as original between coil and spark plug electrode.

The TPS on the 2v K100 its simply a 'throttle closed' switch and a 'wide open throttle' (wot) switch. The 'throttle closed' switch's only function is to signal the FICU to turn the fuel injection off when engine is above 2,000rpm when the throttle is closed. The wot switch signals the FICU to richen the fuel mix when the throttle is cracked wide open.
The TPS can be disconnected without any other effect on the fueling.
The TPS on a 4v is different. It's actually a sensor and not a switch.

You should use dielectic grease on your spark plugs (over the ceramic part as well as the connector) and in the coil HT lead connections. This will help prevent arcing as well as corrosion.

You are correct about the k2v tps purpose. I too much think as a K1100 owner. After having had a k100 for a few years Wink

Hi Guys,

Here are some updates after you last suggestions.


  • Ream HV leads changed and tested: The rate of missfires is much lower now, the performance of the bike has been greatly improved. 

Rough Idle and Missfire when warm Img_2020Rough Idle and Missfire when warm Img_2021

Although the bike behaviour is much nicer now, the IDLE is still a bit oscillating. For that I have tested the fuel pump and I think its not right, attached video below. The reading is straight from the fuel pressure before the filter, the measure is oscillating between 20-30psi, it stays steady at 26psi if you go around 3000rpm. For what I have been reading I think the measurement shoudl be around 65 psi... not 26psi. But my main concern is the oscillation of the reading, it is suposed to be like that?





Hi guys for keep guiding me to find the root cause of the issue.

Regards.

The fuel pump will either have a basket screen or a fuel sock filter at its intake end. Inspect to determine if there is a clogging or collapse of the filtration system, and that the pump is not resting on the floor of the tank.

I have used D7EA in all my 2v K bikes... all good.

But I see no mention of bobbins on them and no photo of the top of the plugs.

Are the tops of your spark plugs showing thread? Your leads need them to have the bobbins on them. Either get them off the old plugs or maybe someone can send you some?

After that have a look at the Throttle Position Sensor and balancing the intakes.

I thought the fuel pressure was to be 36 psi.

The regulated flow is approximately 36psi but it seems that fizcris is taking a reading directly from the pump's outlet where pressure should be in the 60psi range. The fuel pressure regulator is out of the loop in his measurement.

The pump pressure is about 65 psi.

The fuel pressure regulator reduces it to 36 psi.

Depends on where you measure it.
