For some reason... my speedometer shuts off and stays at 0 sometimes; a few minutes later, the red FI light turns on.

When I got home, I noticed when i put the stand down and tilted the bike to the left, the light turned off. When I bring it up, it turns on. When I turn off and turn on the bike, the FI light is completely gone.

I'm confused. Anything dangerous wrong with my bike? Or is it just a sensor problem? no biggie...

 

I wouldn't recommend riding a bike that's shutting off. Need more info to give a guess at the source of the trouble.

 

if it shuts off when you tilt it, id almost guess its a low fluid somewhere? how far do you have to tilt it to have it shut off? Have oil in it?

 

or maybe a problem with the tilt sensor, just my guess

 

to clear things up... my bike doesn't shut off... it's the FI light only.

The bike runs perfectly with no problems at all. If anything, it's pretty cool because when my speedo stays at 0mph, I don't gain mileage.

So basically, my bike has been ridden more than it seems... similar to most clean looking girls out walking on the street. lol

But yeah, I have tilt the bike all the way onto the stand to have the FI light turn off. When I stand it up again, it'll turn on. Kinda weird.

No big deal... I don't mind not having a speedo or anything. I have a good sense of what speed i'm going when I look on what gear I am and what RPM i'm running on.

All my friends tell me it's just the wiring or sensor. Nothing mechanical, so it's not dangerous.

 

Seems electrical for sure. Have you checked your battery terminals? My bike was shutting out completley because the battery terminal was just slightly loos. (Not a good sceene goin 90 int he left lane of a 3 lane highway, surrounded by cars, having the bike quit....not fun.....not fun at all........)

 

EXACT same thing happened to me....I had it towed cause I thought it was a fuel pump or something....$90 for them to tighten battery terminals.

The FI light is not shutting off, its blinking the code that corresponds to what tripped the FI light. The light doesn't blink while the kickstand is up and you're riding because this would be extremely distracting while riding. The light begins blinking when you put the kickstand down. Check it out next time, it should be a repeating pattern. One long flash means 10 and 1 short flash means 1. In other words, if it flashes 3 times long (1 second on, 1 second off) and 8 quick blinks (.5 seconds on, .5 seconds off), that would be code 38. Once it stops blinking, the light will stay off for I believe 2, maybe 3 seconds and then the pattern will repeat again. If you have a Honda service manual, flip to the Fuel Injection system and all of the codes will be listed there.

 

Very observant of you Zerochickenstrips.

Keep up updated.
