General Discussion / Re: 07 Norge Dash Errors

« Last post by Tom H on Today at 03:11:56 PM »

I believe you said it was a new switch/sending unit. IIRR the connector on the top for the wire should not show continuity to the engine block with the engine off and no pressure, then it would when there is pressure. That is how the Loop switches work, I believe the Norge as well.

Unfortunately you have to remove the switch to do this. The only way I think to test it (works with Loop ones) is to check continuity from the wire connector on top to the body of the switch. Then use a small punch or the like and push it in the hole where the oil goes in to activate the switch. Then, at least with an old dirty one, spray it with a parts or carb cleaner and work the switch and test again.

Just some thoughts,
Tom

IIRR, if your getting the pressure switch error and NOT the low oil pressure warning, the switch could be stuck in the grounded position. Again, IIRR, the ECU checks to see if the switch is working. If it finds it showing pressure when the engine is not running, it will cause the error. It will also have an error if it stays showing no pressure when running, but then I think it throws the no oil pressure code as well.

Just some thoughts,

Its just showing 07(oil sensor fault) and not the 08-(oil pressure fault) code.   How do I unstick the switch?

General Discussion / which wire to upgrade solenoid spade

« Last post by SemperVee on Today at 02:24:36 PM »

 My wiring colors do not match from what little I understand on the wire schematic for the 07 Norge.  My starter relay has Yellow, Orange/yellow grey/red and Red.  which one did you tap into to upgrade solenoid spade?  My Yellow is upgraded and fused to battery already with 20amp fuse. So I think I figured out the orange striped one is the solenoid one to tap into and replace the skinny OEM one.

The 07 warning came back and now I can't erase the dash error again. Disconnected the battery and will see if that helps, in the meantime I changed the connector to the oil switch but still no good with the warning so I ordered a Duralast PS158 switch. And if that doesn't work, I can either plumb in an oil pressure gauge to make sure the oil pump is working or just open up the front of the engine and see if the pump is broken which I really don't want to do unless I'm sure that it's broken.

Is this still a Breva? 

Clearly it is a Breva and therefore I get to call my B11 an "1100 Sport". I can live in delusion believing it is a track weapon while barely out-gunning a modest 650 

They really are fantastic bikes. I get the appeal of a GRiSO, but for the day-to-day, you couldn't pay me to leave my Breva and her clacky, CARC'ey goodness behind! Someone actually called it the 21st century version of the 850 T3 and I totally see it. It's a "do-everything" kind of bike that will run until the sun blows up.

How does the 750 'Brev compare to your V7 III?

For when you get bored/have time to kill, I do some comparisons here:

One of the joys of ethanol and plastic tanks..



I note that yours is an early one, going by the paint scheme alone and AFAIK, has different gearbox ratios i.e. higher revs for a given speed. Ideally, I'd like a 2009 'final edition' with black engine.

After 42 years of riding, I found this ‘08 1200 Sport in 2013. It is light on its feet, so versatile, engine is a brute, and it has amazing character. Wouldn’t trade it for anything else. After picking it up in Oklahoma and riding it back to PA, I was only on it for 2 hours and I named it the “Bull Train”
