Front Modification of F4 to F4i - 4/25/2007 6:00:44 PM

Hello folks, maybe someone can help he here. Last year I decided to modify my 1999 F4 to look like a 2001 F4i. I have the back seat perfect and the front was perfect looking to. However, when I tried to drive the bike, it now starts to sputter after I reach 45 mph. And I will barely let me go any fast with out sputtering very bad. I check all my valves, rings, fuel pump, filter and everything I could think of. Then finally I took it to a guy who works on bikes. I informed him of my upgrade to the F4 and then he said did I keep the same speedometer. I asked why, and he said because the gauges and everything connect up with the bikes computer. Shit!, it did not dawn on me. But every since I put that front piece on with the F4i speedo, it has not ran correctly. Does anyone have any suggestion or a wiring map so that I can make sure that all wires were connected properly. I am ready to ride.

You can do two things, 1 You can cut the plastic casing of you F4 meter down to fit inside the new fairings 2 get the wire schmetics
for both bikes and try to match each wire correctly.

I had the same thing happen when i converted to the f4i gauges. There was wire that i had to ground to get the bike to run. The f4i gauges did not have this wire coming out of the harness that the f4 did. Let me see if i can find the schematic and i'll let you know.

Thanks fellas. If you find out the wiring scheme for the front gauges, let me know. I have not rode my bike in a year because I have been trying to figure this out.
