Engine management light came on for a few miles only - then suddenly went out and has not reoccured, should i continue use and wait for reoccur and an error code to identify?? the bike is fjr1300 year 2002

symptoms reoccurred ????? What symptom's ????? Check engine light on ?

There are many things that can contribute to this problem. It sounds like it may be ignition related. Possibly an ignition control module or ignition coil. The check engine light coming on while driving is the key to finding the problem. The light comes on when the computer finds a problem and will then store it in its memory. Have the codes checked for what the computer has found to be at fault and with a little diagnostics, should lead you to the problem

Since the YBR was introduced in 2005 I am going to go out on a limb and say it is computer controlled. Being a single I would also ask how much vibration is involved at RPM?

I would take the following steps; Check mechanical connections of all wiring especially any held against engine or frame areas where corrosion or vibration may cause poor conductivity. Check the spark plug connection also.

Be sure to check all the grounds as these are often overlooked. Remove the ground terminal, clean, grease and reattach. If the problem reoccurs then you will need to access the computer for any codes.

most workshops would reset the codes for you, and maybe look at it more closely if it reoccurs. Sometimes the light goes away after a period of normal running, but dont know about that model.

it sounds like ecu is sending wrong signals these new cars are entirely ran off of computers one minor glitch and it screws everything up, but in turn there is million different possibilitys I would take it to oreilys or autozone they offer FREE hookup and will check and see what codes it reading get that information and i could help you alot more miss

Sometimes a bad connection will trigger a code like this, and it wont come back. Other times it will reoccur. Just keep an eye on the light and if it comes back, check the codes to see if it is the same problem that is reoccurring. I have seen this happen many times, and at this point the best thing to do is to wait and see if the light comes back on.

Please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5932051-check_engine_light_check and let me know if you have questions.

A scanner can clear the codes and turn off the light, but it will come back on if the fault reoccurs.

Hello,F0,displaying on your keypad means "stuck keypad" and these mean the relay is turned on and to determine if the problem is with the Key Panel or Control,follow these steps
1. Pushing Clear/Off pad
2. Disconnecting Ribbon Cable from control and wait at least 30 minutes to see if the code reoccurs.
If the code reoccurs, the problem is in the control, that means you have to replace the control.
If the code does not reoccur, the problem is with the Key Panel

Thanks

i am having the same problem, thought it was ful pump, no go, I heard they had problms with the fuse box and wiring harness, my mechanic messed with mine a few days ago and it has not did it since, but I am looking at changing that. GL

Mine (quest) would do this at 80 miles per hour with loaded car. Since I keep it at 72, it has not reoccurred. I suggest that the sensor is working fine. There is just a slight engineering problem with my engine that does not produce heat/vibration beyond the calibration of my sensor, as long as I keep the speed down. Fewer traffic tickets also.
