Need help CBR 929

929wyn · 09-20-2007, 8:23 PM

Hi I recently bought a 929 and have been working on it for awhile now. At first the bike fired up fine and ran good, now it won't start at all. It happen after a long ride maybe about 3 hours. I cut the engine off and when i tried to start it again it wont start. I just brought it to the shop and the guy told me the problem isn't mechanical. I'm new to motorcycle so i have no idea how the electronics work. The mechanic told me that the fuel pump is working but the injectors isn't opening up because of a module? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. There is also a red light on the gauge, I don't remember if it was there before. I just need some input before i go and buy something i don't need. thanks

when you flip the fuel switch do you hear the pump? There is a connection under the rider seat that may have came loose. Also check your fuses.

So...What did he quote you to repair it?

929wyn · 09-24-2007, 1:09 PM

yes the fuel pump turns on he said the fuel injector module needs to be replace but when I went to order it the other place told me there were no such things. He knows for a fact that it's not mechanical as he said. He said it was all electrical. I might just have to spend more money I guess.

Yes, and not with the "mechanic" who isn't.

What fault code(s) are you getting?

929man · 09-24-2007, 9:23 PM

hey can you get me some more details and i can definately help you out..

929wyn · 09-24-2007, 11:47 PM

ok so the mechanic said it's nothing wrong with the engine. He pour gas into the cyclinder heads and it started up right away. He told me the fuel injectors sensor is not telling it to give fuel when the engine starts it wants to start but the fuel injectors doesn't want to open, according to him. When I do turn the key on the light turns on then shut off then turns on permantely. Please if you can help me I would really appreciate it.

The red light on means that you can check for trouble codes.

1. take your front seat off
2. locate the black two wire connector plug by your battery that is not attached to anything.
3 take a paperclip or piece of wire and jump the two wires together.
4. turn your bike key on and count the number of blinks and report back.

The fault codes have been posted. Try doing a search here for fault codes under my name.

thanks. that's kind of why i was asking for them directly though. i HAD done a search under "fault codes" & got like over 100 pages. lol! figured i'd ask a seemingly knowledgeable source. i'll search that term & under your username (...tho it would have been kool if you had simply posted your link

)

kahlilj · 11-20-2007, 1:18 PM

OK, I just did several searches for "fault codes", "fault", "code", etc.. along with username Red Rider & got nothing for fault codes like I was seeking. The only thread that came up with the word codes in it that red rider started was:
Daytona 200 and Superbike Races ***SPOILER***

Anyone else know the exact thread or am I totally missing something here?

Nah, the fault codes list is not posted anymore, IIRC.

The list is in the service manual.

MACI4LIFE · 11-20-2007, 6:30 PM

please post a fault code if you can, and in the mean time i'll see if i can find my service manual.

CBR929RE · 11-20-2007, 6:59 PM

sounds like you probably have any one of the following codes, 12, 13, 14, or 15. each one of them corresponding to each injector. the manual says:
*loose or poor contact on No.X injector connector
*open or short circuit in No.X injector wire
*faulty No.X injector.
(x=1-4 depending on what injector it is)

try checking each injector connector for corrosion.
