These are the two plugs that I dont have a location for. The first is the OBDii plug that I have no idea where it was placed, and the one in the front (yellow 3 plug in the center of the photo), I don't know.
As for TuneEcu, I have never used it. I have never had issues with a bike that requires a code puller. I do have a bluetooth OBDII code reader made by Bafx Products, do you know if TuneEcu will work with any bluetooth code reader?

Yellow face 3 pin plug is either MAP sensor or heated grips. Looks like heated grips.
MAP one will have a pink wire and the heated grips will have a purple one iirc
 
Alright, well I added the oil and new filter, and she turns over but will not fire. The idiot light is on and I have two plugs that I have no idea where they plug up. One in the frame fork and one in by the battery box. Started to get eaten up so I gave up and came back in.
Sounds like your wires are OK - How old is that gas in the tank?
 
i think that we will have to have the colors of those three
preferably like #1 and color.
i have a lot of info on voltages so #1 voltage is 0 volts ect might help narrow it down.
 
I used a cable with my Roadster. I have a

which is the recommended brand. I doubt the one you have will work, unfortunately. You also either need an Android phone or tablet to run TuneECU. If you can get a cable though (Lonelec) it will work on an old/ancient windows laptop.

You're going to want/need to run TuneECU for a number of things and it might be helpful to you right now.

For info on TuneECU start here...

Please note that if you buy cables from other sources, these cables are USB OBD2 KKL cables with FTDI chipset (VAG group).
Other cables will not work even if they have a FTDI chipset.
Further, for the necessary cables and adapters etc, you can find recommendations HERE
Compatible models see "bikes list" by programmer also

this is what i use with my phone (android) the obd link ls works good but need to follow directions exackly for it to comunicate.
the lone tec cable also works good with android tablet (this works good for downloading maps.
most of the time when an important connector is unpluged it will set a code for the sensor that is unpluged

Well I certainly dont have heated grips. Although I wish I did.

It a few months old but I topped it off with fresh 93, so it should be enough to run fine.

I got home about 2 hours late, and its pouring outside, and I still have to make dinner. It looks like a tomorrow after work kind of thing for me to deal with. When rains starts, people forget how to drive.
 
Thanks everyone for you input, I will have to give it a solid once over and trace wires to see what is where tomorrow when I get home. II can guess all day but until I have the time to actually go out and trace each connection, I am just guessing.
 
It's frustrating- most of us have been there, and too much advice can drive you crazy, but..... just some final thoughts...

- not sure it's a wiring issue anymore- now that you know about the heated grips.
- check to see if the plugs are firing
- dump that tank of stale gas to run in the lawnmower and start with fresh fuel

Good luck
 
Well, I braved the pouring rain and started again. I unplugged the power commander and I got it to fire up for a second but I noticed that the gauges were not on. They were lit up, but they didnt go through the start sequence and nothing was showing on the odo. I held the starter and after a few seconds the gauges went through the start up until I let go of the starter. I believe the battery is low on voltage even though I charged it and I need to scrub the connections really well. But that will be a tomorrow thing.
 
Ok, well, its good and bad news with the new battery. If I unplug the Powercommander 5, it will fire up with a very rough idle but eventually dies out. If I plug it back in, it will not fire up at all. The gauges will not cycle until its started and then it runs semi smooth for a few seconds and then starts idling rough.
Checked the coils but the plugs are set where you cannot mix up 2&3, went through whole bike and checked plugs were all plugged in, double checked nothing was left unplugged.
The only thing that I havnt considered is that the airbox may need to be connected so the sensor reads and adjusts for the intake.

I will be getting the OBDII plug tomorrow, and I will hop back on it, but until then, I am frustrated, so I need to take a break otherwise, I will do something stupid.
