General topics » emission light

hi, bought my 2017 r1200rs se in July with 4800 miles on the clock. first time out on it after bringing it home, after riding about 3 miles the emission light came on, so turned round & came home. took it to the dealer who checked it out & reset the light, second time out after filling it up only rode 1/4 mile it came on again. it went in again yesterday, reset & test ride by the mechanic light did not come on. on my way home called in to fill up. within 3 miles it came on again. so they came to pick it up, not sure if filling it up is anything to do with it apart from the extra weight . it may be a wire gets trapped with doing this ANY IDEAS. cheers Neil

Perhaps the gas cap isn't closing securely and that is being picked up by your bike's emission sensor system?

Or the tank vent hose is kinked and not letting the tank vent properly? This has been known to happen.

If the engine light is lit, most probably an error has been stored in the ECU. The first thing I would do then is to read this error from the ECU.
There's no compelling reason, that this particular event is really emission related.

Hi Neil,

Where are you based?

If you want to check for error codes I have a GS911 if you want to plug it in and see what error codes it's stored?

I don't know if fouling the charcoal canister when overfilled will trigger a engine light.
What does a emission light look like?
What code did the dealer say the computer showed before he cleared it.

hi
well the bike has been diagnosed with the a Lamba sensor problem .it has been changed so picking it up in the morning .
while I am pleased it has been sorted I think it should have been sorted on the first visit , when it was first plugged in to there computer
