FI , im guessing is going to stand for "fuel injection"

If the bike now sounds different it has probably got a problem with the fuel injection somewhere that the computer has picked up.

If the sound of the bike has changed it may have dropped 1 cylinder and that is why it sounds different all of a sudden.

It could be a simple blocked injector or water in the your fuel - a bad batch of fuel will play havoc with the fuel injection system on any vehicle.

When was the last time you bought fuel ? was this problem only after getting new fuel? when was the last time the bike was serviced?

id have the fuel system checked buy someone that knows what they are looking at.

    It had set all winter, I put a new battery in it and it started right up. The gas tank was almost empty when I started it.

    It sounds like stail fuel then!

  • damo Jun 04, 2014

    But the FI light tells me different - i recon you have picked up some dirt out of the bottom of the tank and blocked and injector or there is condesation that has settled in the empty tank above the fuel line and you have water in the fuel - as well as the stail fuel

Abs light stays on what's the solution .

The corroded brake pipe should have been replaced as per the advisory. It is for your own safety, the safety of your passengers and the safety of other road users that you maintain your car to at least the minimum standard. Having said that, generally speaking, the corroded brake pipe will not cause the abs light to come on. When the car is booked for brake pipe replacement I suggest you ask them to do a fault code check on the abs. Save any guessing.

Where is oxygen sensor located because service eng. soon light stays on

There are two O2 sensors. One in the Y pipe where it connects to the exhaust pipe and the second one is in the exhaust pipe between the catalytic converter and the muffler. There a hundred things that will cause the service engine soon light to come on. A problem with the O2 sensor is just one of them.

GE PROFILE

It sounds like your drain hose is kinked or blocked, or maybe the pipe that the drain hose drains into is blocked. Somehow water is now being allowed to get out of the machine at the end of the cycle and is staying in the machine. Check those hoses and pipes.

HEATER IS JUNKY

Sounds like you have a blockage to the main jet. If you have a compressor just blow the jet out from the top and with a bit of luck it will clear it. If not you may need to remove the outer covering and find the pipe to the main jet and again using compressed air just blow it out. Usually not much goes wrong with these apart from blockages every now and then and most of the servicing places just blow them out with compressed air. Just make sure if you remove a pipe you tighten the pipe up properly when re-fitting it. Hope this helps.

My pilot light won't stay lit. As soon as I lift the button, it goes out.

Sounds like you have a blockage to the main jet and maybe to the pilot light. If you have a compressor just blow the jet and around the pilot light area out from the top and with a bit of luck it will clear it. If not you may need to remove the outer covering and find the pipe to the main jet and again using compressed air just blow it out.
