899 Mechanic For 899 Rebuild Wanted In Yorkshire

  1. Rebuilt the bike after a crash and bike won't start and the clock is all flashing with no figures in the relevant boxes etc
    A panigale expert will have come across this many times I'd expect.
    Can't really afford main dealer prices at the moment.
    Cheers
     
  2. Ducati John in Leeds
     
  3. or go back and check that all your earth points are clean and attached.
     
  4. I've crashed mine a few times now, ok more than a few, and never had anything like that. Bike has always come back on as it should. Sounds like wiring from your description, check you haven't pinched the loom somewhere and that there are no pins pushed in on any of the connectors. Check it all the way back to the ecu, reg rectifier and the BBS under the seat.
    Was it a big hit or a light tumble?
     
  5. Just seen your other thread about the plug on the back of the clocks. Might explain it. Big hit I'm guessing to smash that.
     
  6. Yes front end one. Smashed the clocks . Had to rewire the clock. Didn't check the rest of the loom though. Will look tonight. Any earth points to look for?
     

  7. My dash is doing exactly this but mine won't start it just clicks the starter as if battery was flat but it definitely isn't.
     
  8. +1 for Ducati John
     
  9. there were 2 guys on the pannigale forum with the same issue and in both instances it was a batt issue. Apparantly their dealers told them the flashing of the dash is due to the ecu having a low supply voltage. One bike had a parasitic drain from a short in the loom which pulled down the batt if left unused for a few days.

  10. Mine has a race lithium one and I've charged it for a couple of days and it says it's fully charged?
    I'll double check the rest of the loom tonight.
    Someone mentioned a cut off kill function that might of turned it of when it crashed?
     
  11. Try another battery. Yours "telling you" it's ok, isn't always gospel. If nothing else, it rules it out as an issue. Also check the RH switch outputs.
    The dash on the 899 is one of the ECU's. It's integral to the running of the bike. Any connector issues or faults will affect the whole system.

  12. Good call!
    Right I found 3 of the 21 wires in the dash hadn't quite gone in far enough.
    Pushed them fully in. The dash now works with no errors and the bike fires straight up!
    Yaaaay
    However we have a new problem, the bike fires up but it's on full throttle. When I touch the actual throttle to stop it revving it actually revs it harder!
    So hard it sounds like it wants to pop.
    Any thoughts
     
  13. Throttle position sensor needs resetting ? Andy
     
  14. IMG_8699.JPG IMG_8700.JPG First pic is ignition on, ever so slightly opening butterfly.
    Second pic is ignition off, butterfly fully closed.
    Full throttle only moves it about 10mm and it seems to be buzzing and juddering as you move the throttle on the bars. IMG_8699.JPG IMG_8699.JPG
     
  15. from what i mind v.rare fault on motorized throttle body's so dont check or see it much but it should do a full sweep when ignition switched on?
     
  16. Mine doesn't but I think it used too
     
  17. its got two right? check the other.
     
  18. Both identical movements and both open the same amount when using the throttle
     
  19. When I put my finger on the butterfly they are both vibrating a bit and both make a buzzing sound like they are unsettled
     
  20. sounds like another earth fault. is there a self or active diagnosis available through yer dash? there generally pretty bullet proof (in the car industry) with v.good self diagnosis. on cars the throttle switch has two tacks as does the throttle body's one track goes high to low resistance the other goes low to high. this corresponds to the throttle body.tracks. if they go out of sync, boom, on goes the engine light and limp mode.
    any possibility of connections being in wrong way round or connected to wrong throttle body's?
