Hi There
Here is the note I have prepared for Brian at my dealership. Has anyone had this problem... would appreciate your feedback.
Brian
Early this morning, I brought my FJR from Oakville into work at Toronto. I will try to give you an overview of what happened so that it can be corrected:
• After about 20 minutes of driving, it seemed that the engine was hesitating slightly without any change in throttle input
• The red ABS light then came on.
• After a few more kilometres the ABS light starting switching on and off for varying periods
• The speedometer then started to register a lower speed than I was travelling
• The gauges all reset in a manner similar to when the your normally turn the bike on
• At that point, I believe at that the bike briefly shut off
• After that reset the ABS light was off
• After about another kilometre the ABS light came on and the bike shut off
• At this point I was at an off ramp and coasted to a stop at the side of the road
• I turned the key off and then on, the bike restarted with no ABS light, I then drove the last 2 km to work
• I brought the bike home on city streets instead of the expressway in the afternoon, the ABS light did not come on
About a week ago when I was coming to work, early in the morning:
• The ABS light came on and I felt that the bike engines was hesitating,
• I believe that the engine turned off and came on again
• I stopped at a traffic light, and turned the bike off and then on
• The ABS light went off and I drove to work
Last year there was an instance were the ABS light came on. It was about the same time that I braked and I was only 1km from home. When I got home I restarted the bike and the ABS light did not come on.
A few times when travelling with the GPS in the cradle, the GPS has told me that it lost power. I assumed that the GPS cradle caused the issue. I am now wondering if it was the bike.
