2007 Tiger 1050 Initialization / Starting Issue

hi i have the exact same issue with mine...what was the answer on yours?

 

More recently the bike wont initiate upon turning on the key and can stay that way for a while as i jiggle and shake things...the suddenly it spools up...and when it does the bike starts up strong...but then dash goes out again....charging system is showing 14.6 volts when this happens and the bike doesnt shut down. frankly if it wasnt for the starting issue I could probably live with the intermittant sweeping of the dash but when i shut it down there is no guarantee that it will fire back up.

 

Hi Craig. I have confirmed that with the key off, the dash is drawing down the battery.significantly..my thought is some wiring after the dash is the culprit and not the dash itself...need to trace it back. let me know if you have come up with anything thanks

 

Hi craig....any luck? I have traced all wires and found nothing to deal with the intermittant nature of this problem...may plug in a replacement ECU to see if that helps..let me know thanks Gregg

 

An observation not an answer.

The needle sweep is a feature of the instruments powering up and NOT the ECU itself. Logically that would suggest random re-sweeps are a result of a poor power connection to or within the instrument cluster which may have knock on effects downstream within the circuit. That would be consistent with the unsuccessful checks thus far.

 

Hi Craig, have you cleaned (with switch cleaner) the clutch, side stand and kill switches ???

 

here is where I stand with mine..and i apologize in advance for the lack of technical expertise...but i do have a mechanic helping me. Under the seat near the battery is what appears to be a switch or relay box with a bunch of wires going into it. this "switch" was making clicking sounds that would result in the tach fully sweeping like it should...and then it would click off...and then click on and stay on.....and without shaking anything it would click off and the dash would only stay partially lit.

My hypothesis is that this "switch"..which i think sends power to the fuel pump...is malfunctioning...power is getting to the "switch" but the switch isnt doing what it should

my other hypothesis is that power is intermittently reaching the switch...when it does reach it all is good...but then power doesnt reach it and it causes the dash to go out...and then it reaches it again and it works. my problem with this theory is that we cant find any loose or broken connection.....this thing will act up without moving or touching anything...which i think points to my earlier theory.

im sorry i cant identify the "switch by name but it makes an audible click which then spools up the fuel injection system and along with it the dash board sweeps like it should. The video that shows how this happened with the dash is exactly what is happenning with mine....turn on key...some lights but no initialization...20 seconds later.... or longer...it suddennly spools up...but sometimes its not 20 seconds!

 

We are going to take a look...but i see some logic to it

 

hi folks. this issue continues to puzzle me. Having not found a smoking gun related to a bad ground, or burnt wire I asked a triumph tech. He kind of shrugged his shoulders and said that they have replaced entire wiring harnesses as a way to resolve issues like this, that they cant find easily.

Given that the bike will suddenly spool up without touching it or shaking wires seems to indicate that we are on the fine line of just enough voltage to make everything work.

Does anyone think going with a 14 series battery along with really looking at the battery cables or replacing them could be the answer?

 

I also am experiencing the same issue with 07 speed triple 1050. everything y'all are describing is happening to me. I have tried cleaning all my contacts within my fuse box with no different result.thinking of trying and after market cluster

 

The advice I've been given is to replace the entire wiring harness as they run hot and fry wires such that it's impossible to stay ahead of it even if you find a bad connection or 2

 

07 speed triple 1050 what is this empty plug for?
