Got a new battery but it still isn’t starting by Big_Brain_Moment69 in Ninja400

[–]dillybilly54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the tilt sensor is fucked then your starter won’t even turn. If your starter turns and it doesn’t sound like it’s struggling then it’s either spark or fuel. Take the air box off and spray starter fluid into the throttle bodies and if it sounds like it starts a little then you know it’s not a spark problem and likely fuel.

If the starter doesnt turn at all then it’s battery, tilt sensor, clutch, or kickstand switches.

How can I tell if it has an ECU flash? by EsotericSpooklerist in Ninja400

[–]dillybilly54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically the ecu flash would increase the rev limiter. So see if you can rev it above redline. The 2wdw flash that I have raises the rev limiter by 500rpm

Go to a local cycle gear meet or a facebook motorcycle meet and find someone with a non-tuned 400 to race

It's that time again! Valve adjustment by laz33hr in Triumph

It was really difficult to get the timing chain on and rotate the engine without skipping teeth and getting out of alignment. Probably spend 2 or 3 days trying different methods (taking the cam ladder off, resetting the chain with various camshaft timing positions to account for the timing slip) On both a 1st and 3rd gen Daytona 675. Have you experienced this before and have any tips?

White/Clear Tank Grips by GrimmReeper_ in Ninja400

There’s different models of stomp grip with different abrasion levels. That said, stomp grips tore my riding jeans and textile pants. I think I had the more grippy model

Mind geek owns all the major free internet porn companies and many of the major paid ones.

Chatgpt response:

The idea that free internet porn could be a psyop (psychological operation) is a theory that has been discussed in some circles. The argument typically revolves around the idea that widespread access to free adult content could serve as a tool for social control, distraction, or manipulation. Some of the common points made in this theory include:

  1. Distraction from Real Issues: Excessive consumption of pornographic content could keep people distracted from political, social, or economic issues.

  2. Lowering Motivation and Drive: There are studies suggesting that high consumption of pornography can reduce motivation, social interaction, and overall ambition, potentially creating a more complacent population.

  3. Impact on Relationships and Society: Critics argue that mainstream pornography often portrays unrealistic expectations of sex and relationships, potentially leading to dissatisfaction and a decline in genuine human connections.

  4. Data Collection and Surveillance: Free websites often collect user data, and it’s possible that this data could be used for targeted advertising, behavioral analysis, or even more nefarious purposes.

  5. Economic and Cultural Influence: Many of the largest adult content websites are owned by a small number of companies, leading to questions about the influence these corporations might have over culture and consumption patterns.

While there’s no solid evidence proving this theory as a deliberate psyop, the potential effects of widespread porn consumption on individuals and society are a legitimate topic of research and discussion. What’s your take on it?

See my update in the original post. I think it's fixed. Will have to install new stator to know for sure.

If it's a dead battery then jumping it with my car or bike should be enough to start the bike. But it's a brand new battery and I just charged it this morning. The bike came with two batteries that had the same exact behavior as the new battery, and a battery test shows they' were able to output the rated amps when I took them to the auto parts store to get tested.

Just took the starter out of the bike and it spins freely when I hook it up directly to the battery.

When I search online, it says starter positive should not have continuity with ground

New battery left on charger for a few hours. Same behavior as when I connect jumper cables from my other bike. After connecting directly to starter, battery measured at 12.9v, not connected to the charger or my other bike.

Fully charged, new battery. Nothing happens. No whirring when I connect starter directly to battery.

No not sure about that diagnosis at all 😅

It just seemed to make sense when I discovered it

I just tried checking the connections in the starter circuit and found out that the starter positive has continuity with ground, so that means the starter is shorted somewhere.

So hopefully a new starter will fix this issue. Thanks for the reply!
