When using the tester, take care never to allow the power supply to fall below the minimum voltage: this situation could occur during engine starting and idling on motorcycles in which the battery is not in perfect working order.
  • Page 97 section Use and maintenance - connect the power and diagnostic cable (2) to the diagnostic connection socket (P) on the tester; then connect the battery socket adapter (8) to the connection socket (R) on the power and diagnostics cable (2) and to the motorcycle battery. Notes For connection of the various devices required for self-diagnostic procedures, consult the instruction handbook supplied with the tester.
  • Page 98: Dds Tester

    section Use and maintenance DDS tester The main functions of the DDS tester can be summarised as follows: - Retrieval of errors (faults) of the ignition-injection system stored in the engine control unit memory and their subsequent deletion, if required. - Reading of engine parameters (rpm, coolant and air temperature, atmospheric pressure, throttle opening, battery voltage, injection times and ignition advance, etc.).
  • Page 99 section Use and maintenance Take the measurement on section (23) of the horizontal belt as described in the paragraph “Measuring timing belt tension”. Turn the crankshaft through 270° in the direction of rotation of the engine (so that the piston of the vertical cylinder is at TDC of the power stroke) and repeat the procedure used for the horizontal cylinder, measuring the tension on section (22) of the vertical cylinder timing belt.
  • Page 100 section Use and maintenance Fix the mounting bracket of the belt tension sensor (15) using the timing belt cover bolt (21). Aim the central green LED of the sensor (15) at the mid-point of the belt run, with the reader parallel to the belt and at a distance of about 1 to 1.5 cm from it.
  • Page 101 section Use and maintenance Flick the belt lightly with your finger and read the frequency value (Hz) on the DDS tester. Notes Do not flick the belt several times repeatedly, as the minimum time necessary for the DDS tester to take a reading is 1 second. Correct tension values are as shown in Sect.
  • Page 102 section Use and maintenance Important Rotate the contact point (U) anti-clockwise to increase belt tension or clockwise to reduce it. 88713.1215 Re-check the timing belt tension. Repeat the above procedure until the correct belt tension is obtained. Then tighten the screws (24) and (25) to the specified torque (Sect. C 3, Engine torque settings). Monster 696/696+ - M.Y.

  • Page 366 section Fuel injection-ignition system The two lambda sensors (4) and (14), installed respectively in the horizontal and vertical cylinder exhaust pipes, provide information that is used by the ECU tocontrol the air-fuel mixture. There is a throttle position sensor (12) fitted on the spindle of the rear cylinder throttle. This device sends the ECU a signal that is an indirect indication of the quantity of air aspirated by the engine (indirect measurement of engine load).
  • Page 367: Operating Phases

    section Fuel injection-ignition system Operating phases Normal operation When the engine is warm, the unit calculates injection time and the ignition advance using the values stored in the respective maps, in accordance with the RPM and throttle position. The calculated quantity of fuel is fed to each cylinder through the injectors in one single sequential delivery.
