 |
|
Hi
Are there any way to test if the gear indicator at gearbox are gone or in dashboard like grounding pins in the connector near the battery.
Seen that it has a 2^n chema like 1'st 001 2'nd 010 3'rd 011 4'th 100, fifth 101 and neutral 000.
Would a disconnected gear indicator give a neutral light. |

No. All three wires must be grounded for the neutral light to be lit. If they aren't grounded then the gear indicator circuitry does not light the N light nor does it provide power to the start button. It is most likely designed this way on purpose to prevent a bike from being started in gear with the clutch engaged.

Thanks for the tips.
We took the connector apart and measured between the pins on the gear indicator side.
Seems ok with <1 Ohm at closed connection according the the diagram. ( all tree shortned at neutral ).
Then tested the indicator in the instrument cluster by using jumpers at the connector. Worked perfect according to the diagram.
A bit of thinking.
Then measured the ohm over open connector and one was appr. 20kohm and the others 220 ohm. There it was. Bike are now in a heated garage to see if it makes any difference.
A Q can the indiciator be repaired?
Will order a new indicator tomorrow.
PS. it's not my K11 this time ( nock nock ) it's a fellow rider who rode my bike and now bought his own. And I will only advise him how to wrench from a chair with a beer in my hand.
Should we take any photos? |

Always take pix - they're worth at least a thousand words each.
