and i thought i was bad with looking over wiring diagramsi spent an afternoon with a A3 photocopy of a gs1100 wiring diagram and a bottle of tipex deciding what i did and didnt really need to give myself achop wiring diagram lol - it looked wierd as i was doing it in a pub but thank god it was a bikers pub so not the wierdest thing thats happened i there.
Generally the Speed Sensor and TPS control the advance of the timing. When the engine is revved, but bike is not moving the timing variation is different as to what it would be when under load hence the requirement of the speed sensor, TPS and the rev counter to work together. The timing changes depending on the TPS position when not moving but has a different setting when at the same throttle position but on the move and the revs and speed are up. The would changes the torques levels also by varying the timing as a given speed throttle position, engine revs and speed. The system in the fazer is basic compared to the later systems in bikes and cars since it has carburettors and it cannot change the fueling. Newer designed systems for fuel injected engines can vary the timing and fueling dependent on throttle position, vehicle speed, engine revs, air flow, temperature and a few others. The torque levels can be varied by the advance or retard of the ignition and fueling depending on the values detected from all sensors.The reason Fazerider probable noticed no difference was that signal stopped because the rotor broke and it would appear to the ignitor that the bike was not being ridden. If the cable was cut then the ignitor would see it and throw up an error signal to the Rev Counter, however an intermittent fault to the cable could cause a misfire or rough running due to the constant variation of the timing the same as worn tracks on the TPS does.Hope that makes sense
The wires are as follows on the Sensors: L/Y is the positive feedW is the signal output to the Ignitor, the Speedo and Odometer from the Speed sensorB/L is the earth fed from the ignitor.W/R is the signal output to the ignitor from the pick-upY is the signal output from the TPs to the ignitor L is power from the ignitorSpeed sensor pulses over either 12mph (20 Kph) are not used by the ignitor as all timing timing above that road speed is controled by the TPS angle and engine speed.
I was taught to use bran flakes box cardboard for the points gap but never been able to find them on the Fazer.
