On the left side of the bike looking from the rear, under the tail fairing, there should be a little plug with a cap on it. try and snake it out of the sub frame and when you get access to it, take a medium size wire or paper clip and connect the two terminals together, should flash codes and let you know whats going on. If its not a code I cant do to much for ya sorry, but there are plenty of guys here.
 
ok ... GREAT news ... did the "code thing" ... threw a C00 ... after some more reading .. took OFF the PC ... and wam bam TY ma'am ! ... we have startage !!! NOW ....... im sure this has happened to SOMEONE !! ... is the PC bad .. ?? does it need re booted ?? or something !? ... remapped ... whatever the term .... ??? just kinda curious now .... going to have the valves done in a few weeks .... i can have my wrench guy ... once hes back from the islands ... do whatever the thinking is ! btw... thx rdnckjim
 
Re: F1 issues .... ??? NOW something ELSE !!!!!

as i said .. got up and running ... BUT... this morning .. fired it up ... rode about 15 mins to get some gas .. all seemed ok ... went inside .. got a soda ... and when i turned the key and hit the switch ...one turn and then NOTHING !!!!! its like a BAD DREAM !!!! ... luckily, i had small downhill .. pushed started it ... but it was as if the battery wasnt charging at all ... the lights kept getting dimmer, and dimmer ... and dimmer ... by the time i had my escape route planned .. i didnt even have enough juice to light the freakin CLOCK ! sheeesh !! ... once again ... i come to the powers that are, for any helpful insights ....
 
Ya I just plugged mine in and it had cleared itself some how not sure what happened. Maybe its pulling too much power (i realize how crazy that sounds but it could) If you can get it running again get a multimeter and see if the battery is draining. also it could be your voltage regulator possibly.
