Compression Release

[Mastiff1776]

On my 2007 mastiff, how do I know if the electronic compression releases are working, can I put my finger on one while I hit the button and I should feel something move?

Also, if they are not working can I just push both of them down manually before starting each time?

Thanks

Yes you will feel them move when hitting the atart button if they are working correctly.

You would have to have 3 arms to do that or hit the start button with your nose lol... but on a serious note you bike will start with them not working its just harder on the starter...i would replace them if they are both not working correctly

You can remove the green wire from the starter. The you should be able to hear them pick up.

Just because your CR feels or sounds as if it working it's not always functioning correctly. When I replaced mine everything seemed to be working correctly however once I got the CR's removed one was broken inside the CR which did not allow it to open. They are cheap enough, I would just replace with new ones and save yourself the headache.

Heres what Ive got going on...

The bike doesn't want to start normally, but if i press on those compressions releases with my finger and then hit the start button it fires right up and runs fine.

What ehc is in it?..could be the the ehc isnt sending signal...there is a few things that could be causing this

Ok, I'm not sure. I can take a picture. Where is it located?

Under the seat

It should be a rectangle box. Sorry mine is under the seat but I have a chopper. I don't see it in your pictures.

When I got the bike I was told it had the dead one customs upgrades including the ehc I believe, but not sure where it would be located on this mastiff.

Located on the right side of the battery box.

Located on the right side of the battery box.

So I would have to remove the side covers to see it? Thanks

Here is a picture of the Dead One Custom from their website.

Just putting this out there, the CR ports may be plugged with carbon build up like mine. I'm just shy of 88,000 miles.

It's easiest, just pull your right side cover and it'll be mounted on the side of the battery box.

Wow I have never seen under a’07 seat before. The battery is turned side on to the placement of the battery on my ‘04. Wonder what year they changed that? And check the oil with the bike on the kickstand…. Interesting
