F1 light comes on bike cuts off of my 2008 gsx . i change oil -gas- and bought it to the shop and the same problem. when i turn the bike on i runs for a little while then turns off

im not too sure without seeing the bike but the sensor might have come loose on your oil tank????

Hi,

Its pretty common and its related to the throttle position sensor, a suzuki dealership should be able to reset the sensor, or ajust whatever, but it cost you $150 DOLLARS FOR A NEW SENSOR.

You can use one trick that worked most of the times :-

Turn the bike off, turn the key back to the on position, but don't start the bike, turn it off then start the bike.

Hope i helped you.

Thanks for using ' Fixya ' and have a nice day!!

The display is really FI as in Fuel Injection. The fuel injection computer has sensed a fault in the Injection system. You will need to ride the bike to a dealer and have them read the fault codes. It is probably just something minor. Major faults will not allow the bike to run. You will not hurt the bike if you ride it.

Can I get a “very helpful” rating on this answer?

The FI light is letting you know there is a problem with the Fuel Injection system on the bike. You will most likely need to take it to the dealer and have them diagnose it with their computer. You can check your fuses and make sure they are intact, but most likely dealership problem.

FI = Fuel Injection. The FI computer is telling you that it has detected a problem and the code for that problem is "C13". Telephone your dealer and ask what that code C13 indicates is wrong. Then you can determine if you want to try the fix, i.e. "clean the air filter", or if the shop must do it, i.e. "# 3 injector is restricted".

A “very helpful” rating for this answer? Thanks!

A lot of times it is the exup servo motor needing adjustment. It will cause the Fi read out to eliminate.

I was at the local race shop in Milton Fl getting new rear tire and the owner of the shop took it for a spin to scuff the tire. When he got back he said he got the F1 code. He plugged a short wire looking thing into a plug under the seat. Took it to code machine and got c-11 code. which is cam position sensor I think he said. but he said he had never seen that error code before. I think the F1 blinking light indicates an error only. You have to have it analyzed with the bike running and code blinking to diagnose the exact issue. Ive got the same bike pictured above and I have been getting error codes pretty much since I bought it brand new in 08. It doesnt seem to affect anything tho, the bike runs normally. Mine usually comes on everytime I start it when its cold. but I can let it run a few seconds then restart it and most of the time the light will not come back on for the rest of my ride. Every now and then it will come on while riding. So I dont know if I'm getting more codes than the C-11 that came up for dude at bike shop or not. I should have taken mine in to have it looked at but never did cuz the bike runs normal as far as i can tell. Annoying as hell though when it comes on at night.

Hi,
The F1 display is an indication that one or more of your sensors are indicating a fault. Your bike is equipped with an ECM module that records and stores all fault issues. Unfortunately, only dealers and bike repair shops have the special readers to diagnose your issue. If you take it to a bike repair shop, ask to make sure they have the reader. Otherwise, it could cost you more in the long run by them trying to track it down by trial and error.
I wish I had a quick fix for you, but it looks like a trip to the dealer is in order.
Hope this helps

It sounds like the tilt cut off may be to blame. If you put the bike into self diagnosis mode it will give you a code. This code can be checked and the offending sensor replaced. The tilt sensor in the tail piece is one sensor that turns the fuel pump off and so stops the engine.
