« Last post by Donkey Hotey on December 14, 2024, 09:30:53 PM »Late to reply here. Standard OBD2 readers will read codes, read live data from the computer and can reset codes on our bikes.
If this is about the original Examiminators, that's a different animal. I have only connected one to my original bike with the original tune.
One of the stories traveling around back in the day was that if you plugged in the examinator and it found a non-factory tune, it would try to restore the tune back to whatever the tool has onboard. Since we never got updated factory tunes, that would be a bad thing if you paid for a later Super-X tune.

I know some owners have used them with good luck.
Anyone on here got some words of wisdom?
Ive been fortunate enough to have the superXtune program my shop PC.....
A word of caution to all owners reading this.... if you find one of the old OEM Xaminators.... be very leary using it. I've heard rumor of some terrible end results.

Hi I have a problem with my bike and I need to be able to diagnose. Does anybody have an Sd card or software of some kind so that I can use my obd tool. Thanks Mel 1304

I purchased this motorcycle from my neighbor after having been parked for 20 years. Cosmetically, the bike is in beautiful condition. I have replaced the rear wheel with the upgraded bearing version, replaced the ECU, the intake upgrade, and all other upgrades except the transmission and the oil cooler. I have had the bike started and it ran well. The tank will need cleaned and relined to be a reliable bike.
I am asking $5500. I will assist a buyer with shipping at the buyers expense. Email rrstl3@gmail.com for any additional details.

Technical Resource Discussion / Re: Upgraded regulator 5 + years on
« Last post by wytfut on November 22, 2024, 05:24:15 PM »I don't know if anyone is anticipating in wait for my new video... Its been over 3 weeks and I'm still not finished. I apologize for that, my back issue gets in the way.
Per a some discussion with Frank, I've learned quite a bit. Frank sent me a used regulator mentioned above. He also sent me a video explaining a few things.
For such a short video, its packed full of information, and I saved it. I'm no computer wiz, but I'll give it a try and send a copy/link upon request. Franks cool beans.
Here's what I've discovered in this process.... :
I still cant solder worth a hoot.... I got it done, and it works, but nothing pretty. I may edit out eventually, or just for giggles leave it in.
Frank mentioned he changed the position of the regulator, as he wanted the connectors to point down, not sideways (bolt holes/slots make it sideways). I discovered that it will not work with the connectors coming out the side. The motor mount is just way too close, so I have to do some customizing to mount it with connectors down.
The new electrical connectors he sent with the regulator, were/are very foreign to me and my experience. I fought them for close to 30 minutes. Once I had them figured out it was a piece of cake. I'm a slow learner, plus way out of practice in the shop. Its been a long 4+ months I've out of my shop. This video maybe some comic relief for some viewers as they watch me drop tools and fasteners.
I'll keep working on this.... and it'll get done, I just can't promise how soon. At the moment, it looks like within the next few days. Its also looking like it maybe a 2 parter. As an avid youtuber, I myself don't care for a video that goes over 30+ minutes.
that's it for now.....

« Last post by koolbikernj on November 18, 2024, 12:07:47 PM »Thanks Bruce, I assumed my stator was bad because I had no voltage at battery and didn't ohm out till later. Also i have 15k on my bike and stator looked great, I did all my mods when I bought the bike new in 99 plus my oil cooler really does well. Thanks, now I am going to do this right.
I wish I can take old regulator apart but that epoxy stuff is a killer.
