S4RT died mid ride

[Heath]

oh good. i'm curious what shorted out. it didn't blow a fuse either, rite?

how much did SOS charge for their service if you don't mind.

It's hard to say what was the main problem. The main fuse did not blow. After the bike died I found out the regulator/rectifier failed (won't pass a bench test), the HID Headlights kept blowing fuses, and my gauges were half dead.

I had an HID set up done by Theo. After the mysterious power outage any time I would power up the lights it would blow the fuse for the lights. I removed the HID rats nest, pluged in my new LED headlight with an adapter and no more blown lighting fuse.

SOS charged me $450 but ymmv. Now they quoted me a loose quote of $200 - $550+ depending on damage and if they could repair what I sent them. They couldn't repair my board. They had to swap out boards, programming included, so I think I got a fair price.

So I have it mostly buttoned up. My only concern late last light was when I reconnected the fuel lines. Are CPC quick disconnects supposed to weep a little fuel when you reconnect? I couldn't tell if it was a consistent leak or just because I was reconnecting them.

Monitor the QD's when you turn the key on and the fuel pump cycles.

The O-rings are easily damaged, so it's a good idea to have a couple spares.
I find it quite often on customer bikes.

I use a little WD-40 to assist connection.

Is there a common brick and mortar source for the viton o rings?

A good old-school auto parts place may be able to hook you up.

Perhaps a hydraulic hose shop.

I get 'em here:

Good call on the hydraulic hose shop. Called them and they said they were in stock. Went over there, counter guy handed me two and I asked how much. He said on the house

.... and they gave me the wrong size grr ...

Did they give you the -011 size?
That's the size I got from McMaster-Carr.

Good to hear that you've got it running!

That is what I asked for but I think they gave me -012.  I went and bought a cheap Viton O-Ring kit from Harbor Freight. The quality isn't the greatest but it works. The size they gave me matches with a -012. I pulled a -011 out of my new kit and it fit just right. So thank you for that!

OK, cool, just wanted to make sure the -011 was the right critter.
