2011-2012 GSXR Issues

Got a New(to me) 600 recently, did the normal things like jump the wires for the clutch safety and kickstand removed the fan and a few other things; FI light and no start, I know it will work if I plug everything back in so what does everyone do? Has anyone been reflashing their bikes with the Woolich system? Does it allow no street safetys and allow for tuning in an easy way as advertised? I thought I had this bike building shit down, this modern mandated safety world is killing me.

 

Put the clutch switch back.

 

Hey Huey,
OK, why?

 

gsxr

Why did you take the fan off ?

 

More room for air to flow through the radiator without restriction and so I can sell it. Need one?

 

Probably because he knows things.

 

I think Huey is referring to the cost/benefit factor. By removing the clutch switch, you cause a host of other problems that in the end outweigh the benefit.

On my 08 GSXR 600, removing the steering damper locked me into C mode. I ended up cutting the relay out of the stock damper with a dremel and plugging it in.

If you want to do it all right, just buy the aftermarket Yosh kit. Much easier in the long run.

 

Bikes are getting networks just like the auto industry did 10-15 years ago. You have data lines running throughout the system. Because all of the electronics , this bit has to talk to that bit and visa versa.

I don't know exactly when autos started having networks, but u get my point.

 

I hear you, I had jumped the wires at the plugs like the old days but odd happenings followed. I remember the factory-pro post about the k5 1000 hp rev ceiling being slightly higher with the clutch interlock switch still installed. So one vote for the Yosh set up, anyone used it in great detail?

 

Yes.

The clutch switch changes mapping - don't jump it. With the EMPro ("Yosh set up"), this issue goes away.

 

Yep, can't just jump stuff anymore. If you know the resistance, you can sometimes wire in a resistor and get by, but that is going out the door as well. There is actual data going back and forth nowadays, so you can't do the resistor trick either

 

When you jump the clutch switch it puts the bike into the neutral ignition map which chops a nice chunk of power off the bike.

 

I think you can still put a switch on the dash for the clutch switch. That way you can keep it off the bar.

 

How many races have ever been lost because the clutch switch was damaged versus how many problems were caused by not having a clutch switch?

When you pull in (and thus engage the clutch switch) the bike goes into a "starty mode" that is stupid (doesn't listen to all sensors) and thus less HP and lower RPM at redline. When you let the clutch out it lets the switch out and the bike gets smart again. Vroom.

Put the clutch switch back.

 

Best technical description I have seen in a long time. :up:

 

Sad that it is likely an attempt to keep squids from floating valves revving the piss out of their bikes with no load

 

I'm thinking endurance racing.

What is the problem with the switch on the dash? Other than having to remember that it is there and having teammates that aren't afraid to use it in the proper position.

 

You are thinking SS. We use a different perch on the SBK.

 

My bike is wired with the clutch switch to an accessory kill button. Hold button, hit starter, let off button
