What Did You Do To Your Busa, Today?

Well, I’ve just torn my fuel pump housing apart to see why the housing was ‘hot’(live 12v) and guess what I found. . .

Looks like when I last stripped it and replaced pump motor and fuel filter, I hadn’t taken enough care to be sure the wires were not pinched as I screwed it back together.
So lesson learned here, and @rubbersidedown , here’s the goods on the situation as you were keen to know why the TB’s were hot 12v.
Easy fix anyway, but it’s just so good to know why that fuel pump circuit fuse blew.
Mystery solved!
I think you knew what it was before separating the housing,you were on the right track forsure. I had an' inkling too. Good final diagnosis. :thumbsup:

New driven TT rearsets installed. Not sure how I feel about losing my rear brake light... trying to decide whether I want to switch them out, rig the light to work or leave as is since the only time I use the rear brake without the front brake is when I’m sitting stopped at lights and such.

Just google,but Vortex has them,FortNine,Woodcraft,etc. ZLots to choose from. I would go trusted before choosing a 12 dolla chinese made off Wish or Amazon.

Is that a hydraulic actuated brake light switch? Who makes it!?
When ordering from whoever you choose you just need to know the banjo bolt size,which I can't recall off hand,its prolly 10 X 1.00MM or 10 X 1.25MM. I'll get you an answer...somebody in the know may chime in prior to that.

Is this thing on? LOL





One option in case you want to further patronize Driven:


*Tap* *Tap* *Tap*...:laugh: awesome...
IDK HW...I'm guessing he thought the rear sets would be plug n play. They rarely are. You end up needing longer springs (brake light),longer shift arms,etc. Sometimes these things are included in the kit. Sometimes.

They were pretty much plug and play. Just had to unplug the brake light switch and chop 1/4” off the shift rod.
 
@rubbersidedown Haha why I said that:

Since @Klutch556 has Driven rearsets I asked about the Driven-brand switch which is hydraulic. You responded to me providing a (great) detailed explanation, and suggesting hydraulic switches.

I felt ignored. Sad. Lonely. LOL (But I can see my post was too cryptic and assumptive and thus I caused it.)

My clutch switch did not need replacing ... yet. Just a quick cleaning.

To test for wanky switch, I depressed and held start switch in, then played with the clutch lever (actually the clutch switch's engage point was what I was after) until it began to crank. That's how I knew it was the switch. @rubbersidedown was correct: some compressed air to blow out the dust. Thanks, Rubb!
 
Put the tail section back together and rolled it outside to warm it up. She fired right up, but when it got up to temp and fans kicked on, she started acting funny and I noticed the voltmeter was reading 8volts. I was scratching my head. Pulled it in the garage and decided to prepare and charge my spare battery that was new in the box, since I have never fully trusted the shorai I currently have on the bike, since it’s given me trouble In the past and had to be replaced under warranty. I added the fluid that comes with the yuasa battery and put it to charge overnight, per instructions. Swapped out the battery and started the bike this morning and stayed next to it watching the voltmeter. It was reading 13.1-13.4 V.................. until fans kicked on, at which point, volts dropped to 10-11 volts. I have a rick’s rectifier upgrade I've been meaning to Install, so I’ll put that in, but not sure that’ll fix my problem. I was really bummed, since I was looking forward to riding today.
