- June 27, 2018, 22:28:20 PMI have a 2002 1500 with a no start condition. have checked all the electricals and am getting spark, fires with ether. Lights all work, fuel pump works, but no fuel. I think the ECM is junk and I need to know what ECM's are compatible to my bike. I see them on Ebay for varying prices, I don't know whether to get one from a Nomad, or a Vulcan Classic or what. I heard that the tuning setup for the Drifter was a little different than the other 1500's. I have a Cobra 2000 Fuel setup(It lights up too) with pot settings at 3-3-0 and it ran great last fall, and in December............this Spring.........Nada! A little help please

- June 09, 2018, 12:25:52 PMWelcome to the forum litteman, and welcome to the Drifter. Hope you get it figured out soon... I don't know too much more than what Troll said. In addition to what he said, I might isolate the wiring from the ECU to the injector and ohm test each one independently- if you haven't already done that (not sure what you already did to check the wiring).

- June 09, 2018, 09:41:57 AMCheck the resistance across the injector connector. They have to draw less than one amp, or the ECU will shut down the quaddriver to that injector. They may fire with 12V across them, but the semi conductor has load limits that cannot be exceeded. This kind of fault is usually due to alcohol dissolving the insulation on the solenoid coil and thereby lowering resistance.

- June 09, 2018, 07:11:22 AMHi everyone.A new member and glad to be on board.Actually registered a couple of weeks ago and been touring this site to figure stuff out.Not much of a computer nerd and not a lot of time to spend on this thing.Have visited a lot of different forums but have never been a member.Anyhow,a little about myself.Bought my first bike when I was 12.Saved my paper route money and got a 1973 kawi G3TR and have not been without a bike since whether on or off road. Kinda giving away my age there...lol .I am currently the proud owner of an 01 1500 Drifter and love it.Bought it in 03 with 3k on it and we have been joined at the hip since.Love the torque and the power,including the style.At only 5ft 6 and 150lbs it hauls me around like im not even there.Moving on...Born in Cape Breton N.S..Spent most of my life in Ontario where I bought my Drifter.For the love I became a licenced mechanic (old school) and owned my own shop for 12 years.Been through many bikes.I have recently moved back to gods country and plan to stay till the end and yes i brought my Drifter with me.Attacted at the hip...ya know.Im now having a problem.Injector #2 is not delivering fuel.Good spark and compression on both cylinders.Have bench tested injectors (both good).Gone through all wiring (ok).Switched injectors front to back..same problem.Checked ECU and am getting a code #42.ECU is shutting down injector #2.Dont know why or how this happend.Getting 12 volts to the injectors,cleaned throttle body but to no avail.I hope there is something that im missing here and reaching out for any suggestions.If i need to replace the ECU (ouch!) i will.Missing the beautiful roads out here.Thanks for reading and looking forward to any replies. Be safe..Littleman.P.S. I read everyone likes pics so i will try to send some.Over and Out..
