ahh - good question. wire that you would use to earth the battery. i never thought to ask, or that there was so many different wires

as soon as i earthed the reg to block the electrical issues stopped.

make sure you earth the regulator direct to the engine block - use 10 amp wire. trust me on this.

update - figured it out. anyone got a spare stator rotor for sale?

hey @docc i would like to, but US postage to Australia is still obscene, extra $120 to get it here plus the unfriendly exchange rates. . i can get the stator rewound locally for $150 so i will take that option. more upset about knocking a fin off the rotor, getting a replacement will be pricey. how do i get that Rotor nut off? is it a right hand thread?

I broke a fin off the rotor and wrecked my stator. Not the day I was planning.

https://imgur.com/a/IGIG9Ks how do you take these stators off? May as well get it rewound. Special tools or tricks?

and now.... well i didnt route the stator wires properly... so now i need my stator repaired.

so i checked the clutch connections, all good. checked the stator, it read fine, changed out relay two and charged the battery, she starts and lives again. this is leading me to think i have a bad regulator. i will check that today and see where i am at.

i would never of thought to look at the clutch switch - i will take a look today. thank you. i'll get some new relays too

i'm riding/ resoting a 2002 Scura. last Sunday i went out to ride with a mate, rode about 30ks - bike going like a clock. Jumped off at his place, maybe 45 mins, got back on the bike, dead. no battery at all. checked the fuses, relays - all good. the dash would light up but the starter just spun. jump started the bike of his car and good to go again. 20 mins of gentle city riding and i decide to head for home. As i was riding the tach stopped working, then the lights and then at 110ks on a four lane highway the bike dies. bit scary and 3 hour wait for a tow truck home. checked the bike over today the battery has charge, 12.6, the stator checked ok by my multimeter. still not starting, just spinning and clicking. i guess the rectifier has fried? not sure what to check next.

did you ever get this sorted? i'm having the same issues now.

will do.

after much much more messing around, downloading and updating drivers, reading and re-reading beetles instructions i am just where i started. For reasons i cannot figure out i cannot successfully connect to the ECU. Next step i guess is to find someone local with cables and see if its my cables and computer or the ECU.

thank you - i'll try flicking the kill switch and see if that makes any difference. I've been trying different combinations of cables and re-installed the drivers but i cannot get the ECU to connect to the computer. each time i try the fuel pump primes. I have tried the reader and the guzzidiag applications, doesnt seem to make any difference. bike is a 2002 scura, i'm pretty sure people have been in the ECU before. there is difference in number on the physical ECU to the numbers on the diag, i was wondering if that could be the problem? the ecu on the bike is IAW15m - C5 and on the listing on the diag it is IAW 15M PF3C. i'll check with the kill switch off and on and report back

i think that might be the problem - i'm pretty sure that GuzziDiag was not connected properly, its a 15m ecu, that was the program i tried. However, i missed the connect to GuzziDiag step first. I'll try that today and see how i go.

apologies if this is in the wrong place - I am having an issue getting the diag to read, and then write my map. i just want to check the fuel trim map. When i plug in the cables and load up the diag stuff i get all the right messages, but the pop up states if you can hear the fuel pump, shut down the program and start again. How am i to interpret this? that the fuel pump should not be running when i read in the ecu? if so, how do i disable the fuel pump? something reads in, i have some BIN files saved, but when i try to open them up using the write program, i navigate to the folder where i saved them, but nothing opens. I am sure there is a simple fix, but i have no clue where i have gone wrong. I have read through beetles instructions and the threads here but am a bit lost. any help would be greatly appreciated.

fixed the problem!! i poorly worded the question, i was looking for alternate ways to get a reading off of the TPS, as i dont yet have one of those casper harnesses and am very green when it comes to electrics. After a lot of if messing about i finally stuck some guitar string into the connection and with a combo of clamps was able to get a proper reading on the mulitmeter. the setting was at 14 mv when i finally got it working. Then after much more fiddling i got it to the magical 157. put it all back together and the bike is now starting and idling much better. i'm now firmly of the mind if its stupid but it works, its not stupid. next up is waiting for the connector cables to have a look at the fuelling.

i was doing some routine maintenance type stuff and remembered that i had bought the hex nut screws to hold the TPS in place. very carefully i removed one of the torx screws only to realise that the second TPS screw was not really screwed down and the TPS, well fell out of place. bike is a 2002 scura that was, shall we say, neglected for at least 5 years before i started the restoration. from the look of the torx screws the TPS has never been reset, still covered in the factory yellow paint. After some messing about i have got the bike running again but i have no idea how well the TPS is set. i dont have a caspers harness to check and reset it but i do have a multimeter and some patience, if i run out of patience i can nick some of my sons ritalin. any tips on what i should do next? can you get a TPS reading with just a multimetre? this was not what i had planned for my sunday morning - Anyone in the brisbane australia region who knows how to set a TPS?

The super tune is coming - i had to get it ridable first bike had sat for a long time prior to me owning it. Cheers!

@docc you were bang on! the right side was too far out and was preventing the throttle linkage from closing properly. adjusted that out, then i reset with the left side adjustment. sitting happily at around 1100 now. you guys are awesome! thank you

i'm starting to think this is the case - i will check the boots and balance holes and anywhere else air could be leaking from - thank you @Pressureangle Cheers @docc i'll try find the right side screw as well.

Hello - my bike, 2002 scura, is idling really high - i checked the air bypass screws and the idle adjust, the bypass screws were almost all the way in, the idle screw just about that way too. after opening up a turn on the bypass screws and starting to unwind the idle screw the bike started to idle faster? i cannot find a way to slow the idle speed down, it was idling at around 1900, and now it sits at just on 2k. the right side idle screw is all but wound out. the is enough play in the cable and the choke is not on. I'm not sure where to go from here? I will read through the whole thread to see if anyone else has had this problem, but it cant hurt to ask

thanks Eric from Brisbane Australia - fitted the plate up the other day. Just to let everyone know that through some quite wild troubles Eric was amazing to deal with. 5 stars.

i think the second issue is what is going on with mine. I will find some time and take the barrel out to look. thank you.
