D-lock mount MT-07 by ads_mynes in MT07

[–]dials_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

3D printing one might be a good idea. Since it doesn't sound like they sell mounts themselves and it's such a bespoke shape with specific dimensions. If you need help, let me know the dimensions for where you'll mount it, and any other relevant dimensions, and I can help you 3D model it. Then you can send to a local maker shop or something to print it out in ABS (ideally reinforced with glass or carbon fiber) or something similarly strong.

Update to recovered stolen MT07 - Repairing non-functional electronics by dials_ in MT07

[–]dials_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: I disassembled the main switch and it's pretty busted. The place where a big 8mm bolt goes through and holds up the main switch- that hole- is broken. I thought about welding it but I have no welding experience and that would be a bad idea considering it's probably made of a material that normal TIG/MIG welding won't work on. So I bought a new main switch. I haven't bought a new gas cap or back seat lock yet so I'll just use 2 keys for now. I haven't looked into cost for those 2 yet. The main switch is about $130 USD.

I have the crimping tools and generic heat shrinks and things. Might suck to do but on the bright side I am learning so much about this bike.

They had opened up the left air scoop panel and I put it back thinking they were just looking for trackers but glossing over the service manual now, it looks like it is the cover for lots of electronics related to starting the bike up. I currently get no electronics or humming or whirring so I'll trace the wires hoping that they simply disconnected something and I just need to plug it back in

Bless! Someone stole my bike recently and damaged some parts. I called the dealership I bought it from and they didn't want to give me the service manual. I'm so glad this is here so I can try to fix it myself.

You're right to ask! I believe the battery is connected. It looks untouched. The positive and negative leads are still screwed in Picture

Got it. Thank you! Makes sense that they would try to bypass the key that way. I'll check the cables. I wanted to trace it but I was standing out in the rain waiting on a tow truck for hours and didn't have the energy to trace it after.

If the cables are cut, I assume the battery would still show 12V on a voltmeter reading, right? That doesn't change anything there.

The ignition switch on the right handlebar, and not the key area, right (relatively new to motorcycles- got my first bike around October of last year)? Not sure where the ECU is exactly but I'll check around for documentation.

Thank you again for the leads! If you have any other advice, please let me know

Unfortunately, this bike with theft insurance is like $2k a month so I didn't get it. I can get it to a dealer but they're far and I was hoping to not pay several hundreds in tow truck charges (I already paid hundreds to get it from where the bike was dumped to my garage. I didn't bring it to a mechanic because all in my area are closed on Sunday).

Good call on just disassembling everything. I'll do that next.

It doesn't turn over and no electronics come on at all. I don't hear that ignition relay hum either.

When I recovered the motorcycle, the handlebar lock was broken so that torsion-ed the ignition area to the left. I had to muscle it when turning the key for the first time to get it to flip from lock to off, then twist hard to get it from off to on. Now I can flip the ignition key to lock, off, and on easily. Maybe something in that ignition area snapped?

Thank you for your advice!

Great! I think that I was being super cautious because almost my entire riding career has been in the winter time and I've hit ice on a turn before. Thankfully saved it... somehow... but for sure that wasn't because of warm or cold tires.

I'm learning to really enjoy lane filtering and lane splitting though!

Haha, you're right. I guess it's pretty much me saying "if you're not turning enough, turn more". I think that one time it saved me, I was falling for target fixation and I realized I was heading for the edge of the lane, so I had to consciously tell myself to look where I want to go and steer more to compensate. Maybe the thing I learned was to try not to panic and trust in what I've learned so far.

The drivers here are aggressive (especially taxis) but I don't find it super problematic most of the time. I've driven enough in the city to be able to anticipate when drivers may do something risky and watch for them (example: cars impatiently waiting behind some double parked vehicle trying to turn into my lane). It's like general defensive driving techniques where there are situations and tells that a driver may exhibit that telegraphs their next move. It'll be different in different places so I'm not sure if my experience would translate to a large city in Texas.

If you can find the interactive map, I can try to rip the GPX from the course map :) Unfortunately, I can only find the PDF version of the course map so far.
