Rough running, low revs

[Phill P]

Cheers for that Hooli, all screen shots, now I'll start looking around

Seems the sensor part available easily, just comes in many different costumes. We will sort it out,just a challenge for us. 😎

Using a resistor to fool the bike would be a good solution, issue is it needs to be a variable resistor with a temp vs ohms curve that matches the OEM sensor.

A threaded sensor that matches then filing or machining the thread off also works, as long as the o ring can be fitted to keep the oil on the right side.

Tbh a fixed resistor at running temp would work, but you'd probably have to let it warm up for a few mins from cold so it didn't stall easily.

I'd be surprised if the sensor isn't used elsewhere though, maybe marine outboards.

I've now got Thursday off so can test the resistance of it on and off bike, if it fails it will stay off until I've cobbled something together.
If I can get the car sensor to work I'll go that route, if not I'll try some sort of resistor, Downside will be cold start and the fan will never cut in, not that it ever has and if it believes the bike is always cold it never would have cut in. Does anyone know the type of connection to the loom.

still 165aud delivered

It won't affect the fan, that sensor is the one at the bottom of the RH side of the bike below the ignition cover.

Is that correct one as the gsx one is

13650-42F00

The USA one is

13650-42f10-000

Give or take a - or two

As I recall from looking at part numbers before, the third section is the colour/paint. So it's probably correct.

Good stuff 👏

Had a look tonight but need to loosen the tank as the oil sensor wire is trapped slightly, however did come across this, unsure of dimensions, 184768 Febi 1757904 1871772, not quite the same but close apart from the O ring

Found this one, on sale

I'll get to pull it all off and take a look tomorrow, I do hope it is fubar cos if its not I'm going to have a lot of egg on my face
Do these oil sensors need to bath in splashing oil or are the just in the area. Getting something similar is problematic as I don't know the dimensions on the other sensors. Could a generic oil sensor not be fitted in the oil filler hole with appropriate fittings

Main oil gallery bolt, is m14 x1.25 generally quite a standard fitment for a temp sensor

[Eric GSX1400K3]

Pretty sure its just an area temp sensor. It doesn't sit in a bath of oil, so any suitable fitting sensor would do.  They are robus, ive only heard of Hooli having a failed one. Mine passed both the manual specified values and the hand held resistance check.  My rough running was due to ebay special low quality injectors
