TitaniumBird Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Well, my 2000 bird has been fixed, big warm thanks to jblackbird2000 for the electrical debug session and convincing me to take a razor blade to my wiring harness. Thanks to the post describing the loom fix in detail, I have to say, anyone with a 99-00 bird should seriously think about the permanent fix. link Lastly, my picture (albeit fuzzy) of the loom fix (the soldering fix) to my 2000 bird. My bike had been suffering the symptoms of the loom issue over the course of a few years, FI light flickering, high beam causing FI light to come on, turn signals with FI light, fan kicking on would cause the whole thing to run like shit.

Pat830 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 I've got to do that to mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC Randy Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Good job. Thats the best way to do the fix. My 99 has done the FI light flicker a few times in the 4years I've owned it, and has been behaving, and staying off the last couple. I did split the connector and the pins were as shiny as the day they plugged them in at the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be good for practice or spare connectors but was replaced due to the efi light staying on. If no one speaks up it's going in the trash soon.

I know someone looking for one of those. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
