Title: Monster S4R - Which injector wire to which injector
Post by: PhoenixS4R on February 24, 2012, 12:18:40 PM
I recently reinstalled a power commander. After removing the injector wires off of the injectors, I was called by the 2 year old and was distracted. I have no idea if I hooked my injectors up backwards, and since this, and a combination of a few other modifications to the motorycle, it's running hotter than normal, nothing rediculous, more than likely worrying about nothing.

Does anyone know which injector goes where so I can eliminate this variable from the equation?






TL;DR, i'm retarded, which injector wire goes where?

Not sure exactly about the wires. My bike ran a little hotter when I installed a PCIII too. I would think that if you got the injector wires switched, that the bike wouldn't run at all. The cylinder wouldn't be getting gas at the correct part of the stroke. Just my thoughts. Switch the wires up and see if the bike even turns on.

Good point. I'd rather not tear it up and switch the wires for a test but i will do so if no one knows. I have a factory service manual in PDF, but it's pretty flipping hard to read. Maybe it's because I'm so drunk by the time I finally load it.

The bike will run, but not as well.

Pretty sure the wires are labeled on the sleeve or with a little tag or wrap, "OR" or "O" for horizontal and "V" for vertical.

You sure, are a gentleman and a scholar.

Ok those are hooked up incorrectly, time to check the other crap stuff I did...

On the occasions I find a plug or hose that seems easily interchanged with another I mark both halves with a paint marker during disassembly.

Hard to mess up that way ;)
