i've been here long eenough to know to search these issues but i've tried with no luck
![]() Driving yesterday "motorway" speeds the FI light came on - pulled in to hard shoulder. 1. engine temp was fine 2. revs at idle were 4000-6000 (can't remember but it was sustained) 3. oil level was fine - no leaks visible turned the engine off then back on all seemed fine for another 100 miles then the same happened ![]() now i've got a 250 mile journey home, and am a little concerned. With the revs staying so high it sounds like a pretty distinctive problem. any ideas? thanks ![]() |

i've trawled the search even further. Seems like its fairly common. Possibly a sticky throttle cable or a wire hitting the frame. It doesn't seem fatal at least. I'll give the FI diagnosis doo dah a go

Does it also seem like the bike is running with the choke on, even when warm (and you don't have a choke)?
There's a couple of options it could be that spring to mind. Firstly, it could be that the CKP connector has come adrift. This is hidden between the frame & plastics on the rear, left side of the pillion seat as you're looking at it. I think it has green/black wires to it. SoulKiss had similar issues (high idle & very lumpy response above 7500rpm - like running a warm engine with full choke on). Secondly, it could be the secondary fuel sensor. Stick it in dealer service mode, and I think the error code is c29 for this. You might as well stick it in service mode & look for any error codes anyway, if you can't find the list of codes, I have a bookmark with them in. |

runs perfectly, could sit at 120 happily (long drive outside my house erm officer...), throttle was smooth as a twin will ever be

I'd check the wiring myself. I had the same issue on my clock and it was down to some rather dodgy soldering on my behalf.
![]() Although I have to mention that I wasn't really concerned in the slightest about my FI light coming on seeing as the K3 clock is mounted to my carbed SV. ![]() |
