Title: Dead Bike immobilized?
Post by: spaceghost65 on November 03, 2008, 07:47:37 AM
Any help is greatly appreciated.

06 620

Put my key into the ignition and turn to on, I just get a blip of light in the cluster, no gauge sweep, no fuel pump prime.
Checked all connections, checked fuses, checked sidestand wire. Replaced battery with new (and newly charged) unit.

Key turned to "Park" turns the parking light on no problem.

If it were immobilized the amber engine light would be on correct?

Worst case scenario?: Bad ECU/Gauge cluster? Do they just not work one day w/o symptoms?

Thanks again.

Try the relearn procedure with your red key. Owners manual explains it.

Try swapping the two small relays that are mounted to the left front corner of the battery tray.

AFAIK, one is the 'main' relay, and one is for the fuel pump, coils, and a few sensors.

After you switch, if you get all the gauges lighting up, but no fuel pump priming buzz.... you've got a bad relay.
