My new to me KLR650 (2001) has none of these issues or problems. Been my daily for a year now. With DG "muffler " sounds pretty good. Jetting was necessary. No EFI issues whatsoever! It has a proper carb. I would not trade it for a new one straight across. No EFI or ABS. Means perfect machine! I hate computers in our machines. No place for them.

When something electronic goes bad people will simply live without it rather than pay the extravagant cost to fix or replace it.

I've been helping a friend of mine with a 2007 Softail. It was in a fire and between the two of us we rebuilt it and it ran fine for 2 years. Then one day it wouldn't take throttle it would idle but that's it. The code was for a crank position sensor which we replaced. All was good we cleared the code several weeks later again it wouldn't take throttle it would idle but that's it. This time it had a code for a map sensor and also the throttle position sensor which we replaced it didn't do any good I did more reading and there is a problem in certain years with the wiring I checked out from point a to point b between the computer and the sensors and the wiring seemed fine no break. Just because this bike had been in a fire and the fire was more in front of the gas tank as it was in a garage we just replaced the wiring harness with a used wiring harness from a known eBay dismantler but still it would not take throttle. We thought maybe the computer so we bought a used computer I was able to marry the computer to the bike but still the same thing and it won't clear the two codes. Not knowing a lot about computers I prefer a carburetor and which I have on my bike. He took it to the local Harley dealer and immediately they said the two sensors we replaced should be Harley brand they replaced them then they came back and said it still don't take throttle you need a new wiring harness. I know this is getting long. He paid them for their 2 hours of work and $300 and two parts that didn't do anything. So I'm at a loss helping him and it sits in my barn .. the dealer just wanted to throw parts at it parts we already replaced I just think they didn't have somebody that was knowledgeable in in-depth work that's the way I feel so like I say we're at a loss maybe you have some ideas thanks I did check the fuel pressure and it was about 45 PSI if I remember I made up a test device from an automobile test device cuz that's what I was initially thinking but why would it show codes for those two sensors. 😲

I like the Feuling OE setup for a couple of reasons, they have a looser tolerance and depending on what your crank run out is they will deal with that a lot better.

Before I ripped the Magnetti-Spaghetti out of my bike, I was watching the 'Scanalyzers' for this system. $1000?!?!?! I won't own or work on a Harley that requires such nonsense. A friend who owns an auto repair business does have a computer that does work with the Delphi system. IIRC, he has to buy software every year for Harleys.
@GixxerFoo2 жыл бұрын
That's all the Harleys are is the Delphi system, you can read and clear codes no problem. The software is what gets you, you have to have that to operate the systems and make changes. This unit actually has the software that allows you to operate the systems and make changes as needed.

Yes all the adapters work for OBDII to your motorcycles specific diagnostic port, but the tool has the specific software for the motorcycle. With another scanner you will likely only have some very basic functions.

This unit is falsely advertised. It does not activate the ABS for bleeding. It has a subsystem that leads you to believe that but when you access (ABS Bleeding), it just goes to a menu that only allows code reading and viewing live data. I have watched a lot of videos concerning bleeding ABS on Harleys and I can only conclude it’s bull crap. Those systems require you to manual bleed the system first then actuate the ABS to get the air out and in many cases, with some of those systems, does not require a second bleeding. Well if we do this to get the air out of the ABS and then it’s not required to second bleed, then where did the so called air go? It’s a sealed system. Did it teleport out all by itself? If you manually bleed ANY braking system and the pedal or lever is NOT spongy or low, then there is NO air present in that system. Period! 37yrs as an automotive technician tells me that. At best, actuating the system mixes the very little fluid that may be left in the block with the new fluid you installed and actuates the valving to lubricate with newer fluid so older fluid is not left in there to corrode and cause sticking which is the real original issue with Harley ABS units. Manually bleeding the system and activating the ABS manually by applying solid pressure when riding will do exactly the same thing but word of caution! If your valves are already corroded, then activating the ABS in any form may cause issues due to a valve sticking from that corrosion and could lead to disaster for the rider manually activating the ABS. It can also lead to disaster by electronically activating as well if corrosion has already taken effect. It’s always a 50/50 gamble due to ABS valving not frequently being activated and the valves sitting in the same spot in the block for years because your ABS never had to activate. I see it all the time in cars with the same units made by the exact same manufacturer. This is the reason Harley wants flushes every 2 years. And this is the reason Harley wants those valves to move in new fluid every 2 years as well to minimize the possibility of sticking. Not to get the air out.

In the questions section of the product reviews, it states that it DOES NOT perform ABS Flush, it only reads the various codes. So, according to that, if you want to activate the ABS Module to completely flush the system, this unit will not do it. Flushing the system in the normal way without ABS activation DOES NOT remove all fluid. FYI. Snap On has one, but $$$$$$$$$.
@GixxerFoo2 жыл бұрын
It doesn't perform the ABS flush but you can activate the system to allow you to push out the old fluid through the module. Yeah Snapon is stupid expensive!
