I just picked up an 01 929 a while back and now the red idiot light is on with the FI indicator in the speedo display. I (unfortunately) have a CA bike so it has all the emissions garbage to make it legal. Air cleaner is clean and ready to go.

Any other ideas? Could it be the $140 O2 sensor? I hate to take it to a Honda shop and get bent over. It still runs like a champ.

Also, anyone ever attempt to take off the CA garbage? Easy or not? How much HP gain?

Thanks for any help.

 

Count the flashes.... a long flash counts as 10 and the fast flash is a 1. So bliiiiink bliiiiink blink blink would be 22. I can look it up for you in your shop manual and or you can download it yourself from Click Here

 

thanks. I'll give that a shot and see what the code is. I have a sneaking suspicion it is part of the CA stuff. I'd like to see what's involved in removing it.

 

9 blinks. IAT (air temperature) sensor loose or faulty. $14.93 to replace. we'll see what happens.

 

well.....the saga has ended. I checked the connection to the IAT and the plug was pretty fouled up. cleaned it out real good and put it back together. Turned key............no dice. Still blinking 9 times. Called the local Honda service shop and they clued me in on erasing the codes in the computer. Read in the manual that you have to use a jumper wire to short out the service plug. Voila! After a few failed attempts, we are good to go. Thanks again Don for letting me know about the lights.

 

No problem and thanks for letting us know how it turned out.

 

well, the problem is back. I bought a new IAT sensor and put it in but now I can't get the computer to reset. Off to the Honda dealer next week. Grrrrrrrrr.......

I want my carbed Yamaha R6 back[8D]
