I am always curious . You are really up on electronics & I like it .

Has anyone been turning any screws they don't know what they do ?

When you say " stripping them down " , how far down do you mean ? If you are extending / cleaning the caliper pistons and pushing them back into their bores , good . Reinstall everything and bleed the brakes . Then , raise the front wheel and pull the front brake lever and release . the front wheel should spin with no drag . If it does not spin , break one bleeder screw and see if the wheel turns . If not , do this to the other caliper and see what happens. If there is still drag or no change , the calipers are sticking . If the front wheel spins after releasing one or both caliper bleed screws , either the front brake hose is bad or the front brake master cylinder is bad .

Hey , this is good stuff . how did you latch on to this ?

There is a link ( lever ) on the throttle shaft that links to the TPS actuator.

No ? Do you mean TPS in general or this one ? It is a potentiometer....plain & simple . Google or Youtube some info or videos today . Follow up and draw the diagram yourself and practice..... Vref---| | > > > > I I Gnd Vref is reference voltage . It could be 2.5,3,5,6 or 12v . Gnd is ground , earth or whatever you want to call it . The link between these is a resistance of a designed amount . The Signal return is the V return going back to the ecm . The lower the Signal on the scale , the lower V return & vice / versa . These usually fail at the point they operate at most of the time . Sometime they can be revived with a tuner cleaner / lubricant . Other times you replace them. To test these , start connecting your meter leads until you find two terminals that do not change resistance with turning the lever or knob . Then connect one of the leads to the unused terminal and rotate the wiper . Resistance should change w/o any glitches . Try it in all combinations til you get familiar with the procedure .

Mine is a 2003 Sport w/the shi??y engine paint , white face gauges , chin pad & external fuel pump too. Don't worry about an exact model year ....None of us care about ours .

emry . CDI is capacitor discharge ignition ? What is TCI ?

Yes , there is a gap @ the spark plug . You do not want an open in the primary or secondary windings of the coil . an open in the spark plug wire , cap or the internal connection of the spark plug . The ignition coil is a step-up transformer . In a conventional electrical system , an open in the secondary will increase amperage in the primary .

What is the condition ( resistance ) of the spark plug wire , cap and the spark plug ? Measure all three and report these numbers . To check the spark plug , you measure from the spark plug center electrode to the top of the spark plug . Remember , an open in the secondary will increase amperage in the primary .

Yes ! BTW , HRC_V4 , you need a new sobriquet . Steve Austin or The Six Million Dollar Man .

Uh oh , another odd color green one !

You might want to get a 5/16" or 8mm fender washer and lock washer too .

I will use a Drs. excuse in the future !

and ol' Geno will have to be a "no show" because I am scheduled to work Friday & maybe Saturday .

You have 2 listed , what's # 3 ?

are you the new Bionic Man ?

If you unscrew the caps and look into the spark plug wire ( lead ) and look in the end you will see copper strands . This will verify solid strand wire . If you can access the coil end , measure the resistance and it should be less than 10 ohm resistance . Then check the cap. It will show ( I hope ) around 5k resistance .

Great video ! Wish I were there .

There is something wrong here ?

Whew....

congratulations

You can put ONE or TWO drops of brake assembly lube on the exterior of the piston as it is being rotated pushing it back to the bottom position . NOTHING ELSE . And do one piston at a time .

What does this frame fit ?

They all ( V11s ) have righteous paint schemes .
