ItzaME Posted January 27, 2017 Report Share Posted January 27, 2017 Any luck? All good suggestion above. Burp system (even though it sounded like you didn't mess with cooling sys) and then the other tests to rule out what it could be. Interested in seeing the fix since such a new bike and seems like 675's are always having funky issues I should note of for future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobhawkins Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 I've been working like a maniac at work lately and it's been cold outside so any motivation was drained. I just burped it, I'm going for a test ride in a couple hours. Hope its better! If not, I'll just take it up to J.D. and not worry about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 And noop, just sent J.D. a note. Damn. Happy to ride it around a little though, love this bike and can't wait to get it back to 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 that sucks man. how long did it run before it overheated? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted February 5, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 It didn't totally overheat, got one bar away and I made it back home. I'd say 5-7 minutes. J.D. said I may need to burp it a few times and if I can't solve it he'd get it figured out. This week should be warm so I'll try some more but I intend to have it to his place this weekend regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubba Posted February 5, 2017 Report Share Posted February 5, 2017 If it's overheating that quickly in this weather, I gotta believe it's not a lean fuel condition, the radiator cap or an air bubble in the coolant system. Sounds more like the coolant isn't circulating at all, which suggests to me some problem with the water pump or thermostat. I'd pull out the t-stat and see if the problem persists; if so, tear into your water pump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonik Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 It's related to what he just did on the bike. Too big of a coincidence that it just happened. He f'd something up, take all that shit back off and put it back the way it was. Then add on one item at a time. No offense, we have all f'd something up.

Still probably worthwhile to check the thermostat, but yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacobhawkins Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I clearly f'd this thing up. I doubt the initial problem was an air bubble because I didn't touch the coolant system, after the overheat, yeah, that's a problem, but maybe not the main one. If I screwed up the wiring I would think it would either not run at all, run terrible (performance wise), or throw a code. That's not happening. Remember, this bike barely has 1500 miles on it. With the warm weather this week I'll a better chance of getting back to confirm what kind of a dumbass I really am. Uggg, at least the Patriots are getting their ass kicked.

I put on a PCV, Ignition module, full exhaust, block off plates, filter. It's the ignition module. It's f'ing up your timing and making it overheat. Swap it back out and try again.

Just hate to show up for a tune with issues. Waste of everyone's time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted February 6, 2017 Report Share Posted February 6, 2017 You don't know what the issue is until you investigate. I've never personally seen ignition timing overwhelm a liquid cooling system that was working properly. Too much advance will cause pings and knocks, but the ECU should sense them and make adjustments. If the ignition module prevents that, you'd hear pings and knocks inside your motor. Confirm there isn't a problem with the cooling system before trying to diagnose by parts-swapping. You spark plugs will tell you if combustion chamber temps are too hot. It is 100% free to look at them. But don't take my word for it, I don't work on bikes or anything. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should fire up somewhere near 220 degrees, plus or minus. Yep, fans kick on at 219 per readings from the power commander. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
