Unhappy Honda CBR600RR PC40 "Check Engine" Light

Hi guys, this will be my first post on here, so feel free to move this post to a more suitable subforum that i´m too dumb to find. I´m in need of help. I bought a bike this spring to race in the Swedish national championship, but on my first track day I had a very strange thing happening to me. I was making a left turn at about 100km/h or 60 miles, when exiting with full throttle and about 30* lean angle my bike suddenly cut out. Like if you press the quickshifter at top gear, like if the ignition cut out. I felt the cut happening about five times within a second until I released the throttle, after which the "Check engine" light was on. Now i´ve tried changing multiple parts as, the TPS sensor, the Crankshaft sensor, The camchain sensor, the idle position sensor (or whatever its called), the spark plugs, the ignition coils, the Bank lean angle sensor, the fuses, all the relays and the tank with the fuel pump ( even though it really felt like a ignition cut out and not like the bike didn´t get any fuel. No matter what, the light will not go out, I also tried to disconnect the battery to reset it. Could it be that I have found the problem and the light just won´t go out or is there something I have forgotten to try? I have no mechanics with the software to check the bike within 400km so that´s sadly ruled out atleast over the summer. The bike is a Honda CBR600RR PC40 -07 and has an quickshifter, full exhaust, kn filter and a PC(3?) so the exhaust sensor is removed and have been removed since forever. The previous owner, a friend of mine never had that problem and I raced him on occassions so I can vouch for him telling the truth. Please, does anyone have a clue? You guys are my only hope.

Best place to start is to read the code.

As far as my knowledge goes, one can’t pull out codes without the Honda software which only certified mechanics have, hence me mentioning the distance to nearest shop.

How many miles it is to the nearest guy that can pull codes doesn't change the fact that the codes need to be read to see what is turning the light on. Blindly replacing parts gets expensive and time consuming, as I'm sure you are finding out.

The situation is as such that I have another bike to try parts from, so the issue of expensiveness is quite limited. Please answer any question on my original post if at all possible, or else, thank you for your time.

Your only question was "Does anyone have a clue?"

Yes, getting the codes out of the computer is the clue. Otherwise keep changing parts in hopes that you accidentally fix it.

You know, you don’t have to be a smartass just because it’s online. I told you that i’m currently unable to pull the codes and if someone has a clue to what is causing the problem, like ”try cleaning the injectors, I had a similar problem” would have been a reasonable response. Why are people so prone to arguing about nonsensical things as this online? I can tell from your spelling that you’re unlikely stupid, so please help me if you have an actual clue. Otherwise, don’t bother replying.

Have good one. /Anton

Have you tried turning the key on and putting the kickstand down, the counting the light flashes?

Unfortunately it neither has a key nor a kickstand as it is a racebike, but ill try to mess around with the ignition to see if it’s still possible. Thanks,

It doesn't have to really have the kickstand, just the switch so it thinks it's down. Same with a key, just power up the ignition without starting it.
