Kickstarting the bike yesterday she kicked back a bit and it triggered the check engine light. No big deal, just turned the ignition off and then back on- light reset and bike started right up.  I got to thinking tho; what code is stored now? Shorted the diagnostic wire and got six long, six short- crank sensor. Makes sense that the ECU wouldn't be happy with the engine running in reverse.

The big thing here tho is that the crank sensor code is stored up so if I ever had a problem and needed to diagnose the bike, if I didn't know there was that code stored it could definitely lead me up the wrong path. I think I'll be checking for stored codes every now and again just to keep a good baseline.

I think I'll do the same myself.  Maybe check at every oil change.

Keeping track is a good idea...however consider this. If you get a code again the new code will show up first, then the older code. If you do nothing the MIL light will stay on. If you fix the first code and then turn the bike on it the MIL light goes off you have fixed the current code. Is that clear or make it worse?

That makes sense to me. I was wondering what order the codes were stored in. Hopefully this is all academic anyway. Thanks!

Mine has a code. I thought I fixed the problem but the steady red came back today with the same code. I think it is telling me it wants to visit Fresno again soon. It misses the nice folks there.

90% of all codes are caused by a loose wire/connection
