Help

Just had me rr7 delivered and the red warning light on the right hand side of the dash has come on after 1 mile... Think there is F1 on the dash as well. So pissed off only had it an hour .... What is it ????/

 

Hi Nobby,

I'm sure it's your speed sensor at fault, does it happen all the time? did the bike get wet? as water can sometimes get into the sensor. new ones aren't that expensive, hope you get her fixed soon mate

 

Found the link Ken talked about for you

Nah its not the speedo sensor it is the exhaust valve is seized so need the a new end can. Cost me £60 to find this out down Thunderoad.
Bit pissed off tbh.But even though it was sold with no warranty the garage that sold it said they will get me an aftermarket can which doesnt have this valve but if the motor that turns this valve is shot the light will remain on. If this is the case surely you can bypass this motor ??
So when they send me the end can is there anyone local to me who knows how to change the exhaust cos the garage will want £150 just to change it over..

 

Do it yourself mate absolute piece off cake! I did mine on my rr6 in about 2 hrs tops

 

Changing the exhaust is easy mate, Just take your time.

If the light ever comes on again just stop keep the engine running and put in neutral and put the sidestand down. Then count the long and short flashes.

 

There is a guy in the US that makes resistors that are plug & play which tricks the ecu into thinking the motor is working.

I think Nutty has one on her's?

 

I am machanically challenged tbh had zx9r and had to change the oil pressure switch and i cracked the sump casing ended up getting the engine replaced lol

 

What will this tel me ??

 

If you look in your manual, it has a table telling you what the flashes mean (what is at fault).

 

Best go buy a manual then had nt i lol

 

Or just post up the number of long flashes & short flashes and I'll take a look in my manual

 

I think its heald itself !!!! did the whole put the side stand down and count the flashes but it was doing it for ages repating code 44 (looked it up not in the manual) so turned the engine off. Gave it a mo started then rode off, light and FI came back on. Stopped about 5 mile down the road to talk to my nephew turned engine off. Started it back up rode off no light and no FI !!!!!!

THERE IS A GOD AND HE RIDES A BLADE PRAISE BE !!!
