Fireblade Wiring (Idiots Guide Required)
IainL - 23/10/10 at 03:45 PM

Just wired up the engine loom on my 919 Fireblade Engine and I can get the engine turning over on the started, but it wont fire up.

There dosn't seem to be a spark

The only wires not connected on the engine are the oil pressure/water temp/neutral which is all contained within a 3 way connector.

Where does the module get its live feed from?

Has any one got an idiots guide to the Fireblade wiring?

I've got the Haynes manual but was hoping for something more simple!

Cheers

Sounds to me like your missing an interlock somewhere ie, side stand switch, clutch switch or something like that, they gotta be earthed or it wont spark. Had similar problems with my zx9r, in the end i just went through the wiring diagram methodically untill i knew i had made all the interlocks. There is no easy answer really.

sidestand switch will never stop a bike from starting
unless it's in gear

same with clutch switch unless it's in gear

Hellfire has a rather nice write up, reproduced for you here:

HONDA FIREBLADE RRX 919 PRE-STARTING CHECKLIST


• Ensure all Green wires in the loom are earthed to the chassis

• Connect Green and Green/White together at the side-stand switch connector

• Connect Green/White and Green/Red together at the clutch switch connector

• Earth the Blue/Red neutral switch wire (Unless you always want to find neutral before starting it!)

If you don’t have the original handlebar switches:

• Connect a switch between Black and Black/White for the stop switch. Leave switch in “open” position until ready to start.

• Connect a switch between Red/Yellow and Black/White for the starter switch. Leave switch in “open” position until ready to start.

• Connect up the instruments, ignition control module, regulator, coil packs etc. The only connections that aren’t generally needed to fire up are ones relating to lights, horn etc.

• Check all the fuses in the fuse box.

• If you have the ignition barrel but don’t have the ignition key (like me), take the plastic electrical part off the back of the barrel so you can turn the electrical part manually with a screwdriver without the need for a key.

• If you have a post ’97 engine then you might have a pink wire going into the ignition barrel connector. If there is, this is the immobiliser circuit and if you don’t have the original bike ignition barrel (which has the resistor built in), you will need to connect a +ve feed to it with a 390 Ohm; resistor in line to supply the correct voltage to the ECU so it will start.

• Connect up the battery. Turn on the ignition, put the Stop Switch so that it is making a contact (closed), put on some choke and then press the starter button to turn the starter motor and (hopefully) fire up the engine. It may be worthwhile to turn the engine over for a few seconds without any spark plugs in to get oil around the engine before you fire it up properly.

Here's what we based ours on, thanks to "Shortie".

Ours is a 919 RRW Blade.
