PostForum: YB Series   Posted: Sat Jun 04, 2022 12:04 am   Subject: Furano brakes
I don't know what the brand rear calliper is however:

I'm not familiar with the electrics on the DB6, however if the fuse is OK and all bulbs are OK then it is likely an earthing problem. (My SB6 has had the issue on the headlights).

PostForum: Bimota Chat   Posted: Mon Jan 24, 2022 9:26 am   Subject: YB11 Purchased with 2800km What to Service?
With 2800km it's low mileage for the age.

Personally I'd change all fluids:
Oil and filter
Coolant
Fuel
Brake and clutch

If you're keen
Forks and rear shock too

Additionally I would norm ...

Thanks for the wiring diagram, now I can see how the system works And it is as follows.

I'm not entirely familiar with the SB8, so I may be wrong here, however on first principles:

1. It is unusual, but not all systems will run the pump unless the engine is turning, so have you checke ...

Good to see the results, thanks. And I'm happy to see the 650mV TPS value seems to be about right.

I know from track day experience the Furano makes good power (its way faster than contemporaries o ...

I'm interested in your findings.

For your question, back in the day applying a resistor to modify a sensor output was a common tuning trick (normally we'd trick the temperature readings lower to ma ...

If the discs are original they are cast iron and as a result quickly tarnish with rust when unused.

Cast iron discs were "state of the art" tech in the 1990's and actually still offer gre ...

You'll find an excellent resource for a Moto Guzzi here (https://dpguzzi.com/efiman.pdf). This covers pretty much all about the fuel injection system.

The connector you refer to should be the diagn ...

If you find some original data, I'd love to see a copy.

So far I've use first principles...

The Furano appears to have 2 wiring looms. As best I can tell the full original Yamaha FZR1000 EXUP lo ...

I'm pretty sure it is that same as the 851, BMW and others use. Some years ago I placed a pressure gauge across my Furano pump and it read 3 bar.

So at the end of the day that is the figure to aim ...

Looking at my copy of the Bimota Bible, it states that the Series II KB1 model was produced in 1980 and 1981. A total of 570 series II were made ...
