General Discussion / Re: Moto guzzi v9 Ecu bricked?
« Last post by Bertil on Today at 01:35:12 PM »
Bulldog9, I think you’re right saying the ECU is stuck on sending a signal to engage the starter. That’s what i can’t get connection with Guzzidiag.
I’ve contact BEETLE and he advised changing Com Ports etcetera alternatively find a tuner who has gear to write a new map.
Thanks for support!

No connetion with guzzidiag or writer/reader. The bike won’t start, probably no ignition. Starterengine turns after key on ignition.
I don’t think the map and startercircuit are separate.

Well, the GD won't connect unless the key is on and the kill switch is set to run.

You're saying that as soon as you switch the key to on, the starter engages? It sounds like your Starter Relay is stuck, or the ECU is stuck on sending a signal to engage the starter.

FWIW, as I understand it, the starter switch sends a signal to the ECU to trigger the Starter Relay. Are you sure your starter switch didn't get bumped or is stuck? Take the relay off and give it a smack/tap, try a known good, or just leave unplugged and proceed with getting GD connected with the right COM port. Once you do that, use same settings for the writer. It will automatically wipe what is there and then upload the new bin file.

What do the gauges/lights do? Does the Fuel pump run/cycle? Or do you just shut it off right away? Once you pull the starter relay you will be able to diagnose better.

It is likely that whatever you did to the Map in Tuner Pro buggered it to tell the ECU to start the bike, and shutting off the key before new map upload was complete just made it worse. Key for you is to get reconnected to the ECU if possible.

I would:
1. Pull the Starter Relay, turn on the key on and try to connect to GD. 
2. Or, leave the relay in place and let it do its thing. If it starts, let it, and then shut down as normal with kill switch then ignition switch. If not, I would engage the clutch, put the bike in gear and deploy the sidestand. This SHOULD kill the ignition/starter circuit. This may be enough to clear the glitch.

In my mind (scary place) leaving everything on and trying to find the right COM port is key. You may have had it right in the past but mine will switch around. NO known reason why GD does that. Try all COM port options to connect GD.

If successful, then use the same settings to connect the writer and try to overwrite. It normally will delete/clear whatever is there, then upload the new map/bin file.

Also, VERY important, make sure your battery is fully charged. I leave my tender/charger attached when I use GD.

Keep us posted!

Clear fuel line and plenty of fuel flow. Valve springs are not broken.

I ah a Motorola phone which worked well but due to a poor phone mount and a strong headwind it blew off my bike at 60 mph. I was able to recover it but despite a cracked screen it still worked. I went to Verizon to see what I had to do to get it repaired but found that doing it through them was such a major hassle I let them talk me into a free Samsung phone. I didn't like it at all after I got used to it. My bills were being sent to another address so I didn't see until a couple of months later that I had been billed $850 for the phone. All I got was an online notice that my credit card was being debited. Between this and the so called free phone I cancelled and went to T-Mobile and exchanged the Samsung for another Motorola a lesser model which I am happy with. The only downside is that in the sticks where I live the coverage isn't great. I was under the impression that they used the Verizon network but apparently not or it is restricted.
kk

My 'currently used' phone is always in my tank bag. I will use an older in a Ram Mount and use my current phone as a hotspot. I still have my Moto G3 from 2015 as my MGMP display on the Stornello, and Mobile Music and digital Speedometer with occasional GPS on the other bikes. I do h ave a TOMTOM Ryder thing, but is a pain to switch over.  The G3 is waterproof and has lasted without issue. The main problem is age, speed and inability to run current programs. I cant use Audible, or Amazon Music, or Iheart radio. It's too old. I'll retire the G3 and put the Thinkphone into service it is supposedly an IP68 water rated device.

I'm adjusting to the Pixel10, and like it. It lacks the karate chop flashlight and twist action for camera of the Motorola, and a few other MOTO functions and isn't a MOTO, but otherwise it is fast, has a great camera, quality sound, runs fast, and supposedly security and device upgrades for 7 years. I also love the Android Pure OS which is what Motorola uses.

In the end, it's a mobile device in a black rubber case........ ANd all the technology sometimes has me thinking the Amish have it right.............. .

Google makes the switchover relatively painless, especially if you did a fresh backup on the old phone before attempting the transfer. It copied everything over including passwords, wifi settings, hotspot settings, 100% Google apps, and other system tools, even the Microsoft apps (office/word/onedrive/etc) carried over with little issue. First time logins for apps and sites with double or triple authentication meant a few other steps, but it was flawless overall. Of course, as I said in the OP, this was not the case with the Samsung, and its OS did its own thing which was different and needed more attention and quirks, but in the end, it worked.

Good answer Bulldog, not to the question I posed, but good answer.
No one is going to try to understand my point…
No one.
The concern is not how well or otherwise you can make the shift…..Does everyone get that ?
It is what the dogs are being asked to do when they engage, absolutely sweet bugger all to to with “technique”. Donald Duck could shift the gear and the dogs would still have the same task to perform.
As an aside, when you blip the throttle, is that on an upshift or downshift ?
On an upshift, what is the process you do for the blip and when you blip for the downshift, what do you do then ?
Can you detail what you do with the throttle for each ?
That is your hand, not foot.

I thought I answered you concern on 'wear and abuse of the dogs' by showing clearly that I have never seen an ounce of evidence that there is increased or significant wear of the dogs as evidenced in the fluuid changes over many miles and many bikes. Surely you would agree that if there was sever or significant wear on the dogs, it would be evidenced by metallic debris or residue (AKA spooge) on the drain plug magnet.

The fact that Donald Duck is a total klutz and famous for being uncoordinated aside :cool:, My technique is generally the same.

Light pressure on shift lever up or down, adjustment of throttle to find that 'neutral' spot to let the dog slide easily, and you are in the next gear up or down.

As for throttle action, on upshifts, I release or let off the throttle just enough so that the lever moves easily. Once shift is complete, the throttle is reapplied and acceleration continues. Hard to describe downshifts, and frequently, the transmission easily cooperates by snicking into the lower gear. Its an instinctual thing, but I will often raise the throttle a bit to again, take pressure off the dogs so the shift happens smoothly.

For ME, this is for casual easy riding and ac/de-celleration, and key is setting the throttle so that the gear shift lever easily selects the next gear up or down.

I should also restate several other factors.
1. Properly adjusted throttle cables. Slack makes this messy and difficult
2. Properly adjusted shift lever. Efficient control is essential as this is a 'by feel' exercise. A loose or poorly adjusted shift lever with too much play, or poor toe engagement makes it more difficult.
3. CARC bikes are more difficult and can be a bit lurchy. Of my 4 CARC oriented bikes, they all have a very different personality and response.
4. I dont ALWAYS shift this way, but do so frequently enough, especially while moving at speed and shifting gears on non technical roads.

I've also stated that the CARC bikes, likely due to the large flywheels are the most difficult to do smoothly, especially on upshifts. The gear lever easily slides to the next gear, but if I dont feather and let off the throttle enough the bike will lurch or jump forward just as if you let off the clutch too fast on acceleration. It's not as big of a deal on downshifts.  The Stornello and Baby Breva are no drama up or down.

I have friends who have and will never try clutchless shifting. That's fine by me, I'm not looking to make converts. But my experience in 40 years and high mileage riding has shown no deleterious effects on longevity or function. That's all I am saying.

I understand your concerns, and you are not wrong in principle, but you are also not right in your assertions that this is death and abuse to a transmission.

You sir, have a terrific sense of humor. Well done, well done indeed.
I’m afraid my good friend down under may be under the influence of fermented kangaroo piss again🤣
