Stoli's 2003 GSX14 - 2018 Rebuild - A War & Peace Length Post !!

Did it pass Stoli ?

[Blubber]

Was just thinking about that to...
Last news was that your fuel pump died 

[Stolichnaya]

Did it pass Stoli ?

Unfortunately not Red Biker. Spent all Friday night putting callipers on and bleeding up.
Then up at 06.30 to start at front and move back checking all nuts n bolts... ready for 1.30 MOT.

11am I started it to warm before set off and after about 2 mins it stalled/died.
Thought nothing more if it n got kit on, went to start it and it's dead!! Nothing!
And for the 1st time ever I saw the FI light. Code C41 fuel pump / Relay no power.
Then a mate turned up as a surprise to ride with me.. it all went very downhill.

3 days of fannying about with tremendous help from Barmy n Seth... (a huge THANK YOU) who gave up tons of time to help but sadly  still dead

So it's off to a bike electrician Friday. He's sure it's the Meta Alarm that's the root.... 

I gotta say... it was very nearly used as a BBQ on sat and Monday I was going to break it n sell parts.
I've calmed a bit now....

So the story has another chapter I'm afraid...

Pleased you've addressed your anger problem and managed to 'Calm the farm'  Stoli.
Alarms can be a nightmare when they play up.

Thanks Kiwi.
Trust me... it was very nearly hammered with a claw hammer Saturday evening. Then close to being set fire to Sunday. Monday it was being stripped to be sold in bits.

I don't do calm or happy when things play up like this. To be running on the drive ready for the off to not working at all blew my mind....

I'd post a pic up it all ready but I can't from phone. I'll post some tomorrow

[Kiwifruit]

I feel your pain. Hope you get it sorted soon.

[Sweaty]

Sorry to hear the Shitty news Stoli & hope you get it sorted before the hammer comes out. I find things like that bloody frustrating as well, but Don't wreck all the hard work you have done, as it looks great.

[froudy]

It totally does my swede in when things like this happen...Fingers crossed it gets sorted out easily and cheaply

[gsxbarmy]

Alarm plus re-modelled wiring loom = trouble   

Hopefully taking off the **** alarm will resolve it, as everything else seemed to check out. I think also if the battery in the alarm is naff then breaching across the contacts (as per we tried) probably wouldn't work.

Once that alarm is off and smacked with a hammer - then hopefully it will fire into life

[Red Biker]

Sheesh! nothing worse than having kit on ready to go then hitting a problem!  Hope you get sorted 

GSX Gurus to the rescue again!

A little update... the Meta Alarm & Immobiliser had caused the issue with a dead bike. Went to a brilliant Auto Electrition and he's removed it completely.

So yesterday at 09.30 it went for MOT and by 10 I had a nice crispy new ticket!!  Yay!! 

By 11 I was in Peterborough at wheels and a guy was talking of wanting to buy it !!  Hmmmm.

I might go out today for a little run. Brakes need bedding in and I need to do a few tweaks on suspension but yay, months of work and she's looking fine and fully legal.

Glad your perseverance paid out.

Nice to see yours back on the road 

[Mick_J]

Glad you got it sorted, bike's looking good 

[Notty]

Great news !! selling your sledgehammer then? 

[KiwiCol]

Good on ya Stoli, glad it's sorted not.  Those alarms seem to be a very temperamental piece of shite.  One minute fine then next minute not.  Glad I don't have one.
