    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    Hi gents, sorry to hear some of you are struggling still with your bikes, I hope my post has been a little helpful - if not just use it as a work flow to check off the things that could have an affect. I've since found mine to be absolutely amazing, after routing out the bad wiring (left as a...

    Gasgas 450 FSE 2004 Regulator / Rectifier

    I checked the gasgas exploded diagrams / parts list and the Ducati unit is listed as 2005 MY. On the 2004 parts list it shows the finned type I received. The vin shows it's 2004, the motorcross shop lists the Ducati unit fitting 04 onwards - no idea why they should conflict! I've sent it back...

    Gasgas 450 FSE 2004 Regulator / Rectifier

    Hi gents, I tested the output from my rectifier last week and found it was pushing out 16.5v at idle. I've just got a new one sent in the post but when it's arrived its the 2002/3 rectifier (finned version - part number MFS400134009), the one on mine is the Ducati unit - part number...

    450FSR 2008 Valves and ignition

    Hi, do you have a copy of the workshop manual? I googled it and found one. Follow the pics and ensure you get the arrows on the cams pointing to the correct pin (left pin on the link for the exhaust cam on my 04 engine from memory and then count the 15 pins back to the inlet arrow) this sets the...

    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    Well I took it out yesterday to go find some local lanes. It's been on the optimate but not been started for about a week. I followed the general rule to key on, listen to the pump prime, then open the throttle for 5 seconds, close the throttle and hit the button - it fired into life like a...

    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    Thanks for that extra info - I'm never sure that the tps reset on guzzidiag works as I can't see any change to the values - what other program did you end up using? I did however disconnect the yellow and blue lead yesterday to put it into race map mode - changing too many things at the same...

    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    Thank you for explaining - I was struggling to understand the link even with google translate! So using the multimeter the value from the tps was 320mV. I slackened off the two screws and by some slight movement it jumped up to 360mV. I then wound the throttle stop back out again to get...

    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    Ok so the injector came back today and the flow rate has increased marginally with the clean - they run a before and after - it's increased by about 3% and the spray pattern is now back to as new. After tank back on and everything coupled up I hit the button - it now fires on no throttle but...

    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    That's great, thanks for the info. The throttle stop has definitely been touched as the yellow paint is missing from the screw - I'll check the values plus set the air bypass back to 1 1/2 turns out!

    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    Hi, no I cleaned it through myself, took out the air bypass screw and cleaned also and replaced to 3 1/2 turns out from fully in. Does anyone have a base setting for this? Back on the engine timing - I'd not come across a 'wasted spark' concept before on a bike. As you time the engine up on...

    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    Top end built back up again - re-shimmed and timed (correctly this time!) and starter motor built back up with a Honda brush plate (identical to the gasgas one). I've sent the injector off also to be cleaned, filter changed and new seals so that should be back early next week.

    450 FSE 2004 starting issues

    Not much progress tonight, I should have the shim tomorrow and the bits for the starter motor. When I was building up the top end last night to check the clearances I sat the chain back on the sprockets. I was reading through the small amount of literature I have on the engine and I noticed...
