Page 47
Maintenance Maintenance During re-assembly, if the O-Rings have been repla- ced, lubricate surface lightly with silicone grease. The use of worn O-Rings can lead to a leaka- ge of petrol from the tank with a consequent risk of fire for the vehicle. Replacing the thermistor If the thermistor needs to be replaced, the cable clamp must be cut.
Page 48
Maintenance Maintenance Take the thermistor out of its housing and replace with a new one. Reconnect the connector and fix a new clamp (Cod. 800056783).

Air intake injection system SUMMARY INJECTION SYSTEM TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS ........PAGE 3 INJECTION TIME COMPENSATION (VOLUME) .
Air intake injection system INJECTION SYSTEM TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS INJECTION TIME (INJECTION VOLUME) The factors for the determination of the injection time are the basic injection time that is calculated on the basis of the r.p.m. of the engine, the opening of the accelerator and various compensations that are determined accord- ing to signals coming from various sensors that reveal the condition of the engine and the riding conditions.
Air intake injection system INJECTION TIME COMPENSATION (VOLUME) The various sensors allow the injection time (volume) compensations to be carried out on the basis of the fol- lowing signals. SIGNAL DESCRIPTION When the atmospheric pressure is low, the sensor ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE SENSOR SIGNAL sends a signal to the ECU to reduce the injection time (volume).
Air intake injection system FUEL FEED SYSTEM The fuel feed system is composed of tank, pump, filter, feed tube, feed tubes (including the fuel injectors) and pressure regulator. The fuel in the tank is pumped into the feed tubing at a controlled pressure by the relative reg- ulator and maintained at a certain constant value higher than the suction generated by the motor.
Air intake injection system FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR The fuel pressure regulator is a diaphragm pressure release valve that consists of a diaphragm, spring and valve. It always maintains the pressure of the fuel sent to the injector equal to the following value: - F4 MY10 ->...
Air intake injection system FUEL PUMP CONTROL SYSTEM When the ignition switch is turned to the ON position, the fuel pump motor is started by the current supplied by the battery. As the CPU possesses a timer function, the pump motor stops turning three seconds after the ignition switch has been brought to the "ON"...
Air intake injection system The ECU consists of a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a memory unit and I/O sections (input/output). The signal of each individual sensor is sent to the input section and then to the CPU. On the basis of the sig- nals received, the ECU calculates the volume of fuel and the ignition advance necessary by utilising pre- pared schemes for the various conditions of the engine...
Page 163
Air intake injection system 2 INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR The temperature of the intake air is found by con- verting the resistance of the Thermistor into voltage and then sending it to the ECU. The volume of the injection increases when the air temperature is low. The resistance of the Thermistor increases when the air temperature is low and diminishes when the tem- perature is high.
Air intake injection system THROTTLE BODY POSITION The sensor of the throttle position (1) is located in the centre of the throttle body. This sensor is a potentiometer with a resistance which varies according to the opening angle of the accelera- tor.
Page 165
Air intake injection system INJECTOR CHECK To check the injectors proceed as follows: - Disconnect a connector from one of the injectors. - Check between green-red and earth. For approxi- mately two seconds the voltage at the ends of the leads should be that of the battery.
Page 166
Air intake injection system - Check the functioning of the fuel pump, connecting respectively: Pin 1 of the connector to the + pole of the battery. Pin 2 of the connector to the – pole of the battery. - If the fuel pump unit does not continue to function correctly after the above-described tests, proceed with relative relay control (1) on the left side of the motorcycle, identified by a ring marked with "I"...
Air intake injection system ACTUATORS Fuel injector The fuel injector consists of a solenoid, piston, needle valve and a filter. The injector is a small electromagnetic injection nozzle that injects fuel into the carburettor according to the signal coming from the ECU. When the solenoid is agitated by the ECU, it becomes an electromagnet and attracts the piston.
Air intake injection system DIAGNOSTICS SYSTEM (MY10->MY12) Ignition and injection system diagnostics For the diagnosis of the ignition and injection system a Weber-Marelli diagnostic software is available which is capable of identifying and recording the faults present or that were present previously on the motorcycle. This software is equipped with a guide book for the use of the software itself to carry out checks on each indivi- dual component of the system.
Air intake injection system AIR INTAKE SYSTEM TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS This motorcycle utilises direct induction in the air intake system. The frontal pressure of the air during normal rid- ing conditions is conducted to the air filter compartment in such a way that the incoming air is pressurised there- by improving the air intake efficiency to obtain greater power from the engine.
Page 170
Air intake injection system SECONDARY AIR SYSTEM TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS (MY10 -> MY12) F4 bikes use an additional system for the secondary flow of induction air. Through this system, part of the air from the Airbox is channelled near the exhaust pipes of the cylinder through a set of on/off valves and passageways inside the engine head.

Electrical system KEY SWITCH Whenever the dashboard, with the switch on the ON position, is not powered, first check the conditions of the fuse located on the start-up remote switch under the seat and, if this should be in good condition, check the conditions of the fuse located in position 1 on the fuse box.
Electrical system INTERMITTENCE RELAY The intermittence relay (1) is placed on the front part of the motorcycle, upon the central conveyor. DIAGNOSTICS UNIT The diagnostics connector (2) is placed under the pas- senger’s saddle. With the ignition key in OFF position, remove the pro- tecting cap from the connector and connect it to the diagnostics unit.
