I did the search and read a couple of dozen threads on the subject, and read the manual. However, I have my own set of circumstances.
I was gonna go riding, and started the bike - on the kickstand (obviously in Neutral), with high idle. After it started, I heard a hesitation for a moment. After that it idled OK. Steady FI came ON, and I checked the code without turning the bike OFF: -C24. I turned the bike OFF. Gave it a minute, and started again. No code.
I let the bike sit for good 30 min. Started again. Steady FI came ON. Checked the code: -C24. Turned it OFF, the ON again - no code.
I have a V-meter permanently connected. Before starting I had 12.6 V. During idle I had around 14V. So, the battery does not seem an issue.
So, it's either the pick up coil (the small one on the side of stator cover), or the bad connection from the coil to ECU, right? So, I will check the connector first as it's the easiest thing to do. If that's OK, I guess I would need to pull the stator cover and take a look at the pick up coil - maybe it got loose or something.
Anyone knows what's the difference between C24, C25, C26 and C27? Same pick up coil is missing 2 or more pulses in sequence per manual. If it's bad connection or coil, this should be random, right?
Also, it seems the problem occurred right at the engine start when the engine is cool, and does not seem to occur on re-start - any meaning to that?
Oh, that's '01 with about 25k miles, PC, Micron full system. No recent mods. I did have sporadic engine cut off in the past months, but replaced the kickstand switch and thought the problem went away. However, I think I still experienced cut of for just a quick moment a few times - not sure.
