but bear in mind that if you replace the connector properly, it will work, and therefore won't need extending as you won't be needing to mess about with it any more iyswim
True, but I have just found a couple of loose pins in the main ignition loom connector as well. So I've bought another loom and will be butchering this one to give solid connections...

That will probably be the problem then as it was intermittent.
That kind of fault is a fecking mere to find at least your heading in the correct direction.
Bought another loom last night .., will just wait for it to arrive, cleanup and install with di-electric grease.That kind of fault is a fecking mere to find at least your heading in the correct direction.
Ordered new air filter too as mine is a little dirty ...
Debating to check valve clearances whilst it is apart and waiting for coil loom and air filter ...
The plan was to do it in winter but given Ive 2-3 days before parts arrive and most of the bike is already stripped down it makes sense even if I do need to drop radiator again.
Not a job to look forward too mind

Decided to leave the valve clearances till winter as there is a lot more work to it than I thought to get in there.
In other news I traced the wires from the CIS back to the ECU.
White with black stripe - directly to ECU
Blue - goes to ECU but also TPS, ex up servo motor, iaps, aps, lean angle
Black with blue stripe - TPS, intake, aps, cps, intake air temp, lean angle
White and black stripe is the signal wire so reckon this was the culprit...
Interesting to find out anyway... Next step is clean the earths up (preventive maintenance) and wait for the parts.
I'm checking the whole bike off whilst it is in bits which is a good job as I found a small coolant leak from the front pipe ...
I also want to check resistances on the coils as one of the coils is pretty manky and on the same loom as the CIS which could cause interference?

I had to shake the dirt out of mine recently, it seems after 60k on one filter it gets so blocked the bike sucks oil out of the crank breather! explains why it started using oil for the first time ever. I'll replace it at 100k & then every 50k from now on to avoid that again.

I'm gob smacked to be honest... I'm not lax with maintenance but the state of it made me cringe! ... 30k miles ... I checked it at 18k as well and it just needed blowing back out.

I've been using a K&N "reusable" air filter. It's only about 6,000 miles before it's horrendous but that's the fault of the local wildlife.
After the next time it's going in the bin as there's an increasing amount of dirt I can't shift when cleaning it, but it still works out a substantive saving on air filters as I have gotten about three uses out of this one as Honda paper ones are equally expensive.
I know there's probably people that cringe at the concept of reusing filters, but I'm of the opinion the slight improvement in airflow makes up for the small amount of dirt you can't remove.
