I got my shiny new Burgman 650 manual in the mail. (Took 4 months)
I thought I would do a little light reading tonight. Whoah !, talk about
some complex circuits.
The Camshaft position sensor, crankshaft position sensor, air intake pressure sensor, throttle position sensor, engine coolant temperature sensor, speed sensor, intake air temp sensor, atmospheric pressure sensor, tip over sensor, air intake control valve, heated oxygen sensor, cvt pulley position sensor, cvt speed position sensor, cvt secondary pulley revolution sensor, cvt engine revolution sensor, cvt throttle position sensor , etc, etc, etc come all together to a rather large computer
in the fairing.
I gather this is all self testing and will give you a simple "FI" idiot
light on the dash if anything is amis. But what then. Please call
NASA.
I can remember when bikes consisted of steel, aluminum, leather, rubber and fire to make them go.
I just didn't realize the underlying complexity to make the Burger outwardly "simple" to ride.
