Dead ZXR HELP

[dodgy]

Well went to start the bike earlier and heard a bang (electrical not engine) and all the electrics went no fuses blown at all. I think I hahve a small fuel leak from carbs too.
Anyone have any ideas? Short, ecu blown?
cheers

A bang isnt good.. do you have a ZXR manual? If not.. I can send you one for free... anything to help a fellow ZXR owner..

[dodgy]

Yes I do have on thanks, I have had another look today and without getting any further I think I may have just cooked the ecu thingy will strip it down tomorrow once the tank's off I should have a better picture

It's ok she lives again now need a new air filter as I had a bit of a fire in the airbox and the filter burnt

[ZXR400Lee]

Nice one! Fire in the airbox ... mine has a problem at the moment... Its blowing flames out of the exhaust on downshift.. looks and sounds good but I'm sure its not meant to do that!!

[bikerz]

er ECU on a carbed bike? explain that?
wire loom about it if that what ur on about? or CDI unit or coils?

[bikerz]

sori, my mate informs me that sounds harsh, wasnt meant to in fact im trying to be nice as i wana know what sort of ECU u get on carbed bikes? how it work? iv got twin 39mm carbs on my SV400S never new i would have a ECU

[ZXR400Lee]

Its a CDI unit, no ECU. Ignition to the CDI unit, which you know is the ignitor box. The CDI went on mine a while back, means the bike will turn over but wont fire up, no spark there. I had everything in pieces, took my ignition apart completely!!

My carbs I think are Keihin 32mm..

[bikerz]

sori bout carbs mate, i was just boasting as mine are aftermarket ones!

CDI unit, how many have u got? i know if they go u have to buy a new one as they sealed units, so may not be cheap mate, but ur be looking as a whole new CDI, i had one go on my RS50 and have to get a new one. maybe able to pinch say off a same year kaw tho if u lucky

[ZXR400Lee]

There is just one in there under the seat. I paid £60 for mine from a breakers off a UK bike that had only done 4500 miles. New from Kawasaki is £395...

[bikerz]

see told u they be alot. gd find mate. does it work now?

[ZXR400Lee]

Yep.. sure does.. stuff left to do now on my bike...

Find fairing, paint fairing
Paint wheels,
Paint swingarm,
Adjust timing (little out causing flames to blow out of can),
New oil cooler,
Chain and sprokets,
Air filter change,
.................

The list goes on and on, I wish my pockets did too!!

[bikerz]

dont wori mate, im the same doing up my SV400S!

oil cooler? they standard on a ZXR400 or are u just sticking one on?

[ZXR400Lee]

It already has a standard oil cooler, but after 12 years of use before me, about 8 different owners before me, and what looks like little attention, its well manky and could do with changing, same with radiator, I'm not sure either are working properly, definately not to there full potential..
