Chaps, Have a small problem, removed the exhaust(standard) on my 2011 Blade needing replace a bearing on the suspension. Following the Honda (and Haynes) manual rotated the servo clockwise to release the cable, when putting back refitted cable and rotated anti clockwise. When ignition is turned on I have code 34 flashing on the FI. Possibly it's because I didn't restore to exactly the right place or I damaged the servo pot doing this, could this be as simple as a stored code and I need to reset to remove from the ECM memory? Bike starts and runs with the valve operating apparently ok. Anyone have experience of this? Thanks Mike
Try clearing the DTC by shorting brn and grn wires together in the SCS connector under the seat (dummy connector). With wires shorted and engine stop switch "on", turn ignition switch to "on" position. Remove short between brn and grn wires. The MIL should light for about 5 seconds. While the MIL is still lighted for this 5 seconds, short the brn and grn wires together again. This should cause MIL to go out, then start blinking again. Done. Remove short between grn and brn wires, turn ingnition off. Test blink codes again by restarting engine (or letting it crank for 10 seconds if engine won't start). Carefully count blink codes.
Reading across the pot (green->red/yellow) is good, reading across its wiper (green->brown) is open circuit i.e. it's knackered. Think there must be a limit to how much you can turn the servo to release the cable(?), no warning in either manual. I can get a barely used one from a friend who swapped his exhaust so should be good. BTW I didnt realise how heavy the standard exhaust is, think I'll be fitting something else later this spring.....Mike
