Just got it firing!
Help!
I purchased a used 2007 Breva 750 about 5 weeks ago and all was well. Low mileage, great looking and great running bike.
The bike was outside at work one day and it got caught in heavy rain storm, a typical July mid afternoon thunderstorm. Drove it home after work and after the rain had ended and had no problems. The next morning, the gages were slightly foggy and I didn't think much about it. I figured a little water got in. Noticed after about a half mile that the tach was reading zero. Then noticed that the speedometer was reading zero. I turned it off and back on and noticed that the power up routine with both needles going all the way to the right and back to zero again didn't occur. Nor did any of the dashboard lights come on like they normally do.
The headlight and brake lights work. Funny enough, the high beam indicator light is the only light on the dashboard that illuminates. The turn signals or hazards do not work. It appears that the computer chip on the dashboard controls those functions.
Took the dashboard apart and did see some water spotting present. Pinned out the wiring with a voltmeter and all the fuses and relays and voltages on the dashboard appear to be correct. The circuit board does not show any signs of problems, but simply won't work (other than the high beam indicator).
I've been caught in the rain before on my previous motorcycle and never had a problem, other than wet clothes.
Looking for suggestions. I hate to spend the big bucks for a new dashboard unit if there is some reset button somewhere.
Other than the lack of turn signals, is there any detriment to operating the motorcycle without a dashboard?
If I do get a new dashboard, does anyone know if it can be programmed with the correct mileage, etc?
