Hi everyone, I just purchased a 2001 F4i with 10k miles and found this great forum and hope someone might have some experience with an issue I'm having. I looked through the faqs and didnt find much.

When I first start to ride in the morning (or anytime during a day) my speedometer stays at 0 and the F1 light comes on. After riding about 10 miles the F1 light goes off and the speedo begins to work showing the current speed. If I let the bike warmup for a longer time it has no effect on the speedo, it isnt until it is moving for around 10 miles. Once it begins working it will work the rest of the day no matter how long the bike sits.

At first I thought it was a Battery issue but the extended warmup would have charged the batt just as well as riding the bike.

Any ideas?

Thanks for this great forum!

sounds like a computer problem to me. ive never heard that but you could try unplugging it and plugging it back in. check the insides of the two plugs that go to the cluster and make sure none of the prongs are bent inside.

 

really sorry to hear about your friend, but im glad youre back on a bike. the salt air may have messed with the entire cluster, maybe even rewiring it would help but im not sure
