FI Light after 60/70 miles - SV650.org

21-07-14, 07:08 PM

Hi all,

I commute home on a Friday from Portsmouth to London. If I don't stop for petrol or a comfort break, about 3/4 of the way back the FI light will, without a doubt, come on.

After stopping in the next layby for 5 minutes checking the bike over, the light won't come back on. At this point, I can actually pinpoint what stretch the light will come on...

The same is true for the reverse journey, obviously.

There's no fault code displayed - just FI - what could it be?

I used to get this on mine after refuelling. I never pin pointed what it was as the bike still ran sweet. I removed the tank, checked & cleaned all electrical connectors within that area and on the FI system. I never had the issue again from that moment on

Is this with the dealer mode link in to read any error codes?
