Hi all
I just made a rebuild of a K100 to Cafe racer.
Added a M unit blue and new controls and speedometer.
Removed original Airfilter box, and mounted Airflow meter directly to inlet.
Added a Lunch Box remover unit from Joost.
It started immediately. But running insane high RPM. Around 4000+ can't measure it, since I need to shut it down fast.
I have looked at my wiring, and can't see any error.
The bike ran ok before I took it apart, but with broken breather hoses etc. So not in good condition, and not sure what previous owner has done.
The wires are replaced to M-unit (light, instruments, buttons etc), but for FICU and ignition it is the original.
I have tried to:
- bypass the Throttle Butterfly Switch with 12V to the white/black wire, to simulate idle. No change.
- Disconnect the Air Flow meter, then it won't start at all.
- Check that I have +12V at the Throttle Butterfly Switch, ok.
- Check for clearance in the gas cable. Ok.
- Checked resistance in water temp. sensor. Seems a bit low, around 1,9 K-Ohm, but should this increase RPM to 4000+ ?
- Checked for mechanical air leak.
The Fuel Injection Control Unit is getting RPM information from Ignition Trigger Assembles, as far as I can see in the diagram. This connection is the original. So I don't think the FICU sees a wrong RPM, or am I missing something ?
Checked the hose connections from tank to rail and Fuel pressure regulator, seems correct.
The vacuum switch is still there, but wires disconnected. Will this cause this issue ?
Is there any electrical issue, that can cause the FICU to increase the RPM so much ?
