Evening all, I got a little bored today so decided that after the success of all my tinkering with the curvy last week, that I'd have a crack at some of the things which bother me with the pointy.
Did a nice service, sparks, oil filter oil etc. Checked her and she started up fine puts everything back then carried on with sorting out the wiring in the back. The (already limited) space under the pillion seat where I like to put my lunch has been full of wires for as long as I've owned the bike and I decided to re-route them all so that most of them are now on the outside of the rear sub-frame. Connected it all back up again and everything seems to be working 100% fine apart from one tiny issue. It wont start! Ok a big issue but I dont see a reason why it shouldnt start but obviously the imobolisor is kicking in because all that happens when you push the start button is the headlights flicker off. I'll be tinkering again tomorrow but I just wondered if any of you had any "try this" comments to maybe speed up the re-build. Its the CAT1 Acumin which suzuki offer, and all the connectors are unique so there are defo no crossed wires. |

If the headlights are dimming then starter is getting current. Battery flat?

the alarm is happy to sound the siren, and the indys are all flashing plus the headlights are still v bright. Im worried if I take it out on to the main road and try to bump start it. If its an imoblisor fault I'll end up at the bottom of a massive hill with a very long and hard push in front of me lol. So anyone in the area and fancy a laugh, ill be the mug pushing a blue pointy up high town road.

To update; matt's bikes still not working, he's charged the battery and it still won't start the lights just dim. He's cvhecked fuses and is checking block connectors and terminals.
Any ideas? Dead battery? bad earth? immobiliser? ![]()

Battery is a working battery, I've swapped it too the curvey and vice versus fully charged both as well...
Its defo something to do with the immob or the wiring but I dont know how to test either and nor can I take it anywhere. Anyone in the area know much about motorbike electrics/acumen cat 1 alarms? |

It's been fully charged and not ridden anywhere, you should get atleast one start or some change in symptoms AFAIK the reg/rec will only be a contender if it's showing signs of no power after a ride.

![]() Did you check the block at the front of the airbox? just thinking as the ignition passes through there IIRC and if it's melted like they're known to it might explain something. Apparently there's also a block connector in the plastics round the screen but I dunno if this has anything to do with your ignition might just be lights.
