    Pirelli Diablo Corsa III. Anyone have experience with these?

    in The Garage

    Posted

    Randy: As long as you don't overload the bike on the center line- i.e. a loaded fastbag on the pillion seat- these are without a doubt the best tires I've had on the 'bird. Even with me at 240, the first set I had went just under 10K. That's highway, city, Texas summer heat, flat and twisty all together. I'm really sorry to hear they're discontinuing them, now I have to go back to experimenting again.

    The tires being discontinued are NOT the corsa III. The tires being discontinued were the different Pirelli model that cycle gear had on sale.

    Ok mystery solved!

    When I took it apart to replace the fairing stay, I had to take off the BAS. When I put it back together I installed the BAS upside down.

    Fixed!!!!

    In the first response- "check the BAS". Four days later, you solved the mystery. Good work, Sherlock ;)

    Glad you're up and running. :icon_biggrin:

    Ok wise ass, I didn't know what or where a BAS was. Then the very first chance I had to work on the bike, that was what I looked at first.

    Thanks for all the help everyone.

    Tim, you going to the OCT. Blackhawk day?

    So get out a sharpie and write "This side up" on it, dipshit.

    It has an arrow on it from Honda :icon_redface:

    Congrats on fixxing a simple mistake Eddy!

    :icon_dance:

    Thanks :icon_dance:

    If I'm not mistaken, there IS an arrow on it that is suppose to be pointing up. The good news is..........you've tested your BAS and know for a fact that it is working.....in case you have an off.

    Yes, there is an arrow but it is on the back of the sensor :icon_rolleyes:

    You mean in case I have another off :icon_redface:

    Since I could get it running in time

    I'm assuming that's a typo and you meant to say "Since I could not get it running"

    Or is the problem fixed?

    You are correct sir. It's a typo. Couldn't get it running in time but you new that cause you were there.

    I did some research on the 600RR forum. I think I know what I did wrong. The BAS(bank angle sensor) is mounted to the headlight assembly. I think I remounted it upside down. :icon_redface:

    I think I have time to look at it this eve.

    I hope that's it.

    Then I hope I remember how to put it all back together.

    Weak battery connection! I had a loose negative battery cable on the RC once and it would power the everything including the pump but when I hit the start button the pump stopped working. Check the connections.

    +1 including the frame ground

    Funny you should say that. I was cleaning /checking things out and I saw a little corrosion on a cluster of green wires bolted to the frame next to the fuses. I believe these to be ground wires. I unbolted and cleaned. I also put a small bit of dielectric grease on when I reconnected.

    I hope that didn't cause a problem.

    When I get more time I will start checking thing out more thoroughly.

    Since I could get it running in time to take to Blackhawk raceway on the 24th, there is no hurry now.

    Fortunately I could take my 929 and still go to the track day.

    I checked with a volt meter where the pump plugs in to the harness.

    So, definitely power to the pump, but it's not cycling? That would narrow it down to everything on the pump side of that plug, which is essentially the fuel pump and the wires leading to it.

    Or a relay, maybe?

    Tuff, everything worked. I started the bike a couple of times since the fall.

    The dash lights up and cycles, the starter cranks but it won't start.

    I can't hear the fuel pump run now.

    I need a service book! I can't find shit on this bike. they hide stuff in different places than my XX.

    Thanks BDAZ, I will look for more fuses.

    If you've got power going to the pump, you can stop looking at relays, the BAS and fuses- unless any of those are in between where you found power and the pump. Check for power right at the pump if you haven't already.

    I have not checked right at the pump cause I'm not sure how :icon_redface:

    I don't have a test light, just a volt meter.

    I have a 2004 cbr 600 rr for the track. I had a low side a couple of weeks ago.

    It ran fine after the fall.

    When I went to change the oil this eve, no start.

    All fuses look good. Fuel pump seems to be getting power but doesn't turn on. But I need a test light. I have a crack in the kill switch but it still rocks.

    I have not been able to get into the wiring as I need a service book for the bike.

    Just thought I would see if anyone here could help since this place has a great wealth of knowledge.

    My guess at this point is the kill switch or the fuel pump relay.

    Is it possible for the power commander to have gone south and not let the fuel pump to come on?

    What do you mean "seems to be getting power but doesn't turn on"? How do you know it's getting power?

    Probably that cracked switch, but take the PC out of the loop just to get rid of the variable. Also check the BAS.

    What's a BAS?

    Don't you need some durock or the like. Or is it ok to mortar right to plywood?

    For interior applications it's fine. It's hard to see in the pic but there is wire lath nailed on to the plywood for the mortar to key into. Even when use outside, they just put up 30# felt over the ply. No need for cement board.

    Cool, any new pics of the progress?
