one for the sp1 owners FI fault codes

Post by warby221 »

Ok I need a hand on this one
Riding the bike the other day bike was running ok but when I overtook a car the bike gave a big hesitation then took off as normal looked down and the FI light flashed on
The bike did this a couple of times when opening the throttle on hard acceleration and once on a particularly bumpy bend at low speed and constant throttle
When I got home did a reading of the fault code and came up with codes 12 to 15
There all injector connection codes for front and rear connections and the manual says the bike shouldn’t be running with this error
Seems a bit strange to me to have both back and front connections playing up unless it’s to do with common connector
Anyone have any thoughts or had a similar problem before I tear in to the wiring???
Also the bike is running a PC3 could that be the problem?

Warby, if I were you I would disconnect the PC3 first to eliminate that and ride it and see if the fault has gone. :thumbup:

got a feeling its going to be the PC as its the only common connection
or at least one of the connections on it

Well the story so far
With work and the weather didn’t get a chance to run the bike till Friday
Following Billy's advice pulled the connections on the PC and took it for a run
No fault codes came up so confirmed something to do with the PC
Did notice a little black on the inside of one of the connections when I pulled it. It was so small it looked like a smug of grease so reconnected it after a bloody good clean.
Did 100 miles round trip to devils and back with a little off shoot with the PC reconnected not a murmur so looks like it was just a dodgy connection all along bit of a result really as no new PC needed :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup:
Mind you it’s not the first time I’ve had problems with connections on this bike so probably not the last to don’t think it was as well looked after before as it is now with me :(

Clean all the connections, and stick some dielectric grease (Vaseline works) in them... Saves you re-doing it too often, and makes sure no more "dodgy connections"...
