Hello guys,
Its been a while since I've been online here, one of those occasions where life overtakes everything. I've visited a couple of times and - bang- offline again to sort things out. I have to catch up on some replies, but before I do.... quick update on my 650....
In April my ECU started throwing up a weird code... Cant remember what it was, I think it was 2 slow 15 fast (I'm not sure, but will check out my emails to the dealer). I must point out though, that the bike didn't seem to be suffering from this
Any how, true to form and great after sales support - my dealer helped to analyze the codes (they where not listed in the manual)...
He sent me instructions on a ignition throttle twist combinations, thinking it was a service reset that wasn't carried out... NO FIX!
Next check all wires connected properly - I did this (best I could) - NO FIX!
As there are no duly equipped service centers near me, he send me out his ECU tester with instructions to reset and read the ECU... - NO FIX!
But it did read 32 faults - yes that's right 32 faults!
OK to cut a long story short - he sends me out a new ECU - NO QUIBBLE (great support)...
Swap over was easy, although I came across some flimsy connector gasket, cheap rubber band affair that ripped in half...
And you've guessed it - FIX!
One thing I have noted - after I wash the bike - for a few days afterward - the are signs of rusty water around the rear. I have included a picture - I always wipe it off, but this is day three. So I assume water is gathering somewhere and spraying rearward.... I need to find where this is accumulating !
Other than that, the bike runs great..
Great to be back
