Thanks for all your concerns,Gents, and in particular thanks Kevin for the list of MIL blink codes, -no they are not in my ,manual either, but they soon will be now! I must say your level of expertise is very helpfull -I'm not quite sure were we on this side of the pond would be without this forum and all the advise given by its contributors.
The bike is not yet fixed ( my dealer has limitations on labour resources), but it is now thought that somewere in the electrics there is a loose spade connector, thereby not being able to signal to the MIL/ECU or what ever?? -hence currently no blinking red light. So at the end of day 3, still waiting patiently and slowly climbing out of this bed of self pity.
Regards
So folks, here we are, after 8 working days at the dealers, my bike is finally fixed, and up and running.
No it wasn't fuel starvation etc. as I thought originally. Quite simply, yes, it was an electrical fault, and simpler still, it was nothing more than a very loose spade connection, not sure were as yet, but somewere, were power wasn't communicating with the ECU/MIL. Funny it had taken 500+ miles to come loose, and I suppose you could say 8 days to find it!!! ( I do know the reason why, suffice it for me to say, service,-or lack of it)
Right, so now I am back into running in Phase II.
I must say I am feeling very sorry and upset with all the trouble that JamesC5 is going through, and now Singhg5, --and yes Watsonians and any other dealer should be communicating with there customers.
This has put a dark shadow over my head, thinking "is my gearbox next", and could I have the same pantomime.
Tomorrow I am going to ring Watsonians and see, -the thing is, will they answer the phone?
