Went to test my newly installed AVCC CCs-100 and discovered a problem even before I could put the AVCC to the test. The bike starts and idles fine in a completely upright position but stalls when I lean it onto the kickstand at idle. I was initially being miserly with the amount of gas I put into the tank to limit the mess created by removing and draining the tank if I had to do this to troubleshoot the AVCC wiring, plumbing, etc.. I figured that I just needed to add more gas as this only happened when the bike was leaned onto the kickstand. I repeatedly added more gas - approximately 8 oz at a time x 3 which I thought should be adequate if the problem was not enough gas - but the problem persisted. Without having removed the tank, it appeared that the vent hose was not kinked. Of note, I connected my vacuum tubing to the 2 right side ports which would be the highside when the bike is leaning onto its kickstand. I have check valves on both vacuum port lines as well as in the shared line back to the servo and vac reservoir and am fairly confident that these are all properly oriented - i.e., air flow direction from the servo/reservoir to the cylinders. However, I wouldn't think that this has anything to do with the vacuum plumbing as the problem is occuring without the CC even being turned on/set. And, if the problem was due to the vacuum plumbing, why would the problem not occur in the upright position.
I'm writing this from work so I can't check to see if my idle adjustment was inadvertently changed as I removed and reinstalled the idle adjustment cable, but I plan to check this. I also plan to disconnect the Y-shape" harness I made to attach the servo blue tach signal wire directly to the primary ignition coil where the gray/red (AKA orange) wire originally was connected and reattach the gray/red wire directly to the coil to see if an electrical problem there might be causing ignition coil circuit failure. I could play with DIP switch #7 - set it to ON as I followed earlier suggestions that OFF was the better position for gen II bikes. But, again, I don't see where any of these would be a "positional" problem and when the CC is not even on! Does the FJR have a lean angle kill switch which I might have disconnected and not reconnected or in some other way messed up while disconnecting/reconnecting the various wire harness connections for removal and replacing the plastic as well as tank, and fuel rail? But, I would expect a lean angle kill switch to cause abrupt cut off of the engine and not be preceded by sputtering. I did label everything before disconnecting things in order to reconnect them properly.
Finally, I should say that starting the bike after the AVCC install was the first time that it was started this Spring so it is feasible that the problem has nothing to do with the AVCC install. Any suggestions which would help me to get to the bottom of this as quickly as possible would be greatly apprectiated.
