Has anyone experienced an Engine Fault Warning light and a switch to a reduced power mode while riding? I just completed an 18,000-mile service last weekend and was 100-miles into a 130-mile ride when it happened. Warning lights came on and the power dropped. I pulled to the side of the road and cycled the ignition switch. That appeared to clear the fault and the engine seemed to run as usual. No warning lights appeared on the dash, after the restart.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #1 Can you explain this better? I’ll check the manual, but I wasn’t aware of this. I first thought you were talking of switching ride modes and getting an error. If someone has a diagnostic tool, you could see if the code was logged (it should have been). Yeah...the system detected something wonky. If you have someone who can check for an error code, you need to see what it is. If you paid a dealer to do the service, take it back to them. Odds are something isn’t securely plugged in (it happens). If it’s that simple, they should fix it at no charge and clear the error code. 6B0088A3-76FF-43E7-95B9-425ADD14E0EE.jpeg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) I’m a Notary Public. RESPECT MY AUTHORITY! |

Let's hope it's something simple like something isn't plugged in right. Good luck. |

What did they say was the cause?

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #11 I had to move the bike out of the garage this afternoon. When I turned on the ignition for the first time, the dash lights cycled and the yellow caution and engine error lights remained lit. A quick on and off of the ignition switch cleared the warning lights and the bike started. I'm waiting for a response from the dealership.....

Really hoping it's something minor. Thanks for keeping us posted. |

Being cheap, I opted for the MotoScan DE software and OBDLink LX combo as my diagnostic tool (less than $100) vs the $400 GS911. After the first event, the dealer said "See, if it happens again". Well, I had two "limp mode" events on my first ride after my first event. By that time, the diagnostic tool had arrived from Amazon and I could verify that two different throttle "valve" (i.e., throttle position) faults had been recorded. One of the faults had occurred 3-times, while the other occurred twice. Having experienced 3 limp mode events (by that time), the diagnostic tool readings were consistent with my experience. The following day, I took a short ride (about 50-miles) and experienced two more limp mode events which yielded additional variants of the throttle "valve" fault code. Yesterday, I deposited the bike at the dealership for TBD repair.

Zitat von Mr. 36654 im Beitrag #14I rather like the sound of that, as I really can't justify the cost of a GS911 although I'd like one. Does this setup work well in comparison? Can you use this on cars too? Will any OBD reader work on the 1200RS? KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS |
