Hi,

I have a 2001 CBR F4i. My bike was stored all winter (about 4 months) and I started to ride again 2 weeks ago. Last night I went for a ride and I noticed my FI (fuel injection) light stayed on. Anybody have any idea why? I looked at the service manual but there's nothing I can understand.

I didn't put fuel stabilizer when I stored it and I'm wondering if that could be the cause?

Thanks

 

Hey King Pat,
Dont know the answer just stopped to say all Hail from one King to another.

 

LOL long live the Kings!

 

I read somewhere that you should reduce the engine revs & get it to the dealer asap! Don't know if this helps.

 

When you say "reduce the endine revs" do you mean take it easy on the throttle, or reduce the idle speed?

 

i believe take it easy on the throttle and take it to the dealer.
did you do anything else to it? like disconnect a sensor or anything?

 

no I didn't do anything. But this was last night. And today it's fine. I don't know.

 

you should have drain the old fuel
never use fuel after sitting in the tank for 2+months

 

Somebody from another forum suggested this stuff: http://www.seafoamsales.com/ I guess it cleans your carb (or fuel injector) and works like a charm. Cleans the dirty gas and all that junk.

 

There is a plug under the gas tank that if it comes loose it will give you a FI light. When I put inmy K&N I forgot to plug it back in and that is what showed on my cluster. I raised the tank back up and plugged it back in and the light went out. If you haven't put a filter in you may just want to raise the front of the gas tank up just to see if the plug may have come a little loose of is there is possibly a chaffed wire.
