new guy with a 07 R1 motor

Thanks Gene !


While I had the dash apart I went ahead and added some JetHot Heat Shield to the Gas tank since it's real close to the header and around the main wire loom that was resting on the Rectifier that gets pretty hot. I also clearanced out some of the aluminum around the air box for the F.I. harness.
I finally got my rims back from Todd after he machined them again and I had Fullerton Sand Sports mount them today with tire sealant inside each one.
stopped by Mckenzies Offroad after Fullerton Sand Sports and bought a new Lens for my HID light I broke and also bought a real nice 2-1/2Lb. Fire Extinguisher with a quick release mount for my cab. Gonna pick up on more for the drivers side but a little smaller one.
Got exactly one week before it sees Glamis for the first time!!!!!!

The video angles arn't the greatest (mostly dash board) but I'll get you better ones once I get everything tuned in. I'm having problems with the motor dying on me after it's warmed up real good. I have a feeling it's the Air mixture and intkae settings.
well here's a few ...enjoy.

Here's a long video going around my block waking everybody up.

Oh Stetler! You law breakin MOFO!

Gawd! I love the car on the stree! So bad azz!

Sounds really good and I know the engine dying problem will get solved.

Great video and thanks for the thrill of that ride!

Thanks Gene Ya I don't really have a field or a nice industrial area to test run this thing at. So I figured I didn't have much of a choice but run it on the street. It was early around 1 PM so most of everybody was at work and the kids were at school.
Besides, My neighbors pretty much new this day was coming. I'm the only house in our area that the garage is open every single day due to working on this.

So if you guys noticed in the video the rhino kept dying a lot. So I didn't go to Glamis this weekend . Instead I dropped it off at a motorcycle custom shop and they ran some test on the computer system.


OK, so they called me today and here's the problems with it. I had about 4 codes that were thrown but I couldn't tell this at home because it never gave me the numbers on the gauge. Only the eng. Check light would stay lite.
I have some bad sensors. So among the bad sensors are: Pressure Sensor, Neutral Switch Assembly, and another one but I can't remember what he called it. Also another reason the eng. light was on is because the EXUP valve is off. The shop that redid my wiring harness was suppose to fix that issue...but I guess not.
The shop told me that my throttle bodies "Might" be bad too.but he couldn't check it because of the next problem....................
Here's the big issue: When Todd made the new Throttle arm bracket on the Throttle body where the throttle cable hooks up to, Todd welded two of the brackets together and need to operate seperate. Looking at them you would never know because they look like they should both open and close at the same time. But because this 07 motor has the volocity stacks that move up and down it is different. When you turn the key on the TB stacks open and shut because the computer runs it through this cycle. During drive time the computer moves these slightly different through the electronic throttle sensors. This is why my motor kept shutting off at various times.
Not sure if this blew out the sensors or I did it when I fried the first ECU. Either way I ordered the new parts and I'll just have to wait until they come in.

I forgot all about the EXUP valve. yea, that will throw a code if the circuit can't find something. I ended up pulling the actuator apart and keeping the circuit installed in the harness - system thought that everything was there.

What about the tip over sensor? Could that be the other piece?

The Tip Over Sensor was eliminated and it's not throwing any codes.
As for the EXUP hook up. I just ordered one of these Graves Motorsports - 'Graves Motorsports EXUP Servo Eliminator
so I don't have to have the whole switch and valve still attached to the car somewhere.

Actualy I've been a member over there for a year and a half. Those guys have been a big help on some of my issues. Thanks though for the link.
