Hotrodding the GS

<BR>Thanks Jim!

Regarding where to mount it, looks like on the ST, ziptie the harness to the 'tinnerman clip' will work fine. I'll just go ahead and make the harness long enough to allow the end user some options. Like that brass insert nut you mention.

Between this RT picture and yours, looks like I got it covered. Thanks again big brother! Cheers.

<BR>Little help

I need to verify this measurement on the R1200 S model. Who can help?

REGARDING THE S MODEL:

Specifically, when the seat is removed on the S, there is far less of the airbox visible.

The tank cover wraps most of the way around the back and side of the tank. It looks like the tank cover might be cut away right where it meets the front of the seat. If there is a cutaway in the S tank cover, exposing part of the airbox, it's obviously far less of a cutaway than on the R, RT, ST, and GS models.

On the S, it looks like there may be enough room at the trailing edge of the tank cover, once the seat is removed.

It would be nice to figure a place to ziptie the IICE Air so that you can get to it either by removing the seat, or in the case of the S model, the small side panel under the seat/tank interface.

That will work, you just wont be able to get to it without removing the body pannels!

For the chips just give the batch after cutting a good wash and rinse in plain Dawn dish soap and hot water (no softener!) and a good rinse. I used to give RF assemblies this wash with no residue problems as long as the drying is quick. (DI water rinse. )

For soft plastic - a trip in the freezer before cutting.

<BR>Yea that's what I want to do, the dishes! I appreciate the input just the same.


Re aqueous flux solder, and water rinse of PCB assemblies, that's the ticket. At one point I used a converted (read sacrificed) dishwasher.

I didn't think the panels would need to be removed to get to the IICE Air and make an adjustment, but you're the one looking at the side and tank panels.

The device can be mounted via a ziptie to its own harness. The little enclosure is not much bigger than the Booster Plug enclosure.

Sure, to install it the tank cover on some models will need to come off, but not to adjust it. At least it sure doesn't look like it. From the pictures, there is plenty of room there for the IICE Air enclosure.

If I'm off base, let me know.

I assume there are some sort of dip switches or potentiometers on the unit that may need adjusting, correct? Also, it is about the size of a small relay? If so, on the ST, you may need to add another 8" of wire to place it under the seat to access it without removing the side pannel.



You can see by this photo how the side pannels will have to be removed to get to it, the blue pannel comes off with the silver one above it in one piece, and the lower one below the blue also is another that would have to come off. The bike can be ridden with them removed though. Under the seat is a bracket, not shown, that is placed over the battery and next to the tank that removes that space for mounting.

Like I said, no problem mounting under the pannel, but it makes access more difficult.

IIRC the RT isn't much better, but I don't have the bike to be sure.

Hope this helps.

I think you'd want the same for the RT.

I had a 2005 RT, and procedure for "Tupperware" removal is confusing the first and second time, and time-consuming even after you learn it. I think it involves 13 screws for the first side, possibly more.

I got it down to 15 minutes to remove one side, and 15 minutes to reinstall. Another 10/10 minutes for the other side. Makes throttle body syncing a PITA.

Yup sure is.
You gotta take off the side panel to get access to the rear brake master cyl. too, at least I do.
Total plastic tear down is 39 screws....just for the tupperware.
more if ya go into the dash too.
If ya could relocate it to under the seat that would be great!

Just being lazy and not wanting to read back through all 870 posts.....

Riding an '08 1200GS....How much are you charging for these babies? Is this batch you are working on all spoken for or do you have some available?

Think all 113 are pre bought.

That was part of the reason I sold my 09RT...but I am more comfortable on my GSA

<table border="0" cellpadding="5" width="650"><tr><td>So this doesn't turn into a big mess. Here's what I'm doing.

The standard harness has 9in/225mm of wire. On the 1200, according to the measurements I took, along with JVB's and others, that will easily get the IICE Air from the original sensor location, down to the top of the battery.

<BR>

which sits UNDER my 2000 1100RT tank:eek1

so it will make it non adjustable w/o a major tear down and might as well gotten a non adjustable booster plug.

Please find a way to get it under the seat

<BR>I didn't read your post, did you say you had a 1200?


<BR>

2000 R1100RT
MY battery and ABS reservoir are under the fuel tank.
access requires removal of ALL the tupperware then I can lift the tank.

<BR>So you're not going to fit it to a 1200 then?

<BR>

I don't understand.
I do not own a R1200RT, I do not have plans for any R1200 ( no $$$ for one)

I own a R1100RT.




To use the adaptability of your device on my R1100RT it would have to have easy accessible.
This means to get at it easy it has to be under the seat or the bike has to be disassembled to get at it to make changes.

Alright, that picture is just too cute! Nice doggy!


You don't understand? How do you think I feel?

My harness length post was referencing the 1200, not the 1100/1150. You don't need to connect to the battery to connect the IICE Air. It only connects to the Air Temperature Sensor on the top of the airbox.

On all the 1100s and 1150s, the top of the airbox is right there under the seat.

The harness is 9in/230mm so it will fit the 1200s. And it will reach from the top of the 1200 airbox, to the battery. Which on the 1200s, is right there under the seat.

Whew!!! Glad I am on the same page w/ you now!
I didn't want to start anything, sry, shoulda read more closely!

BTW that's a cat and a few weeks after that pic I had to let him go to the universe.
Too many Illnesses at the same time.
He was 14 and his name was Teddy the Biker Cat.
