Warning light issue and recovery/warranty bigger issue.
Posted: Fri Jan 26, 2024 2:23 pm
500 miles in and, after about 10 miles on Wednesday (on a freshly charged battery after the cold weather) I had a yellow warning triangle flash up plus the ‘Refuel’ warning. I assumed the two are related.
I trolled the couple of miles to the garage and filled up but noticed the triangle had gone out but the orange EML light had come on. I rode back home to consult the handbook - which said stop the bike safely and contact the nearest dealer. :rolleyes: There was nothing in how the bike rode or ran that seemed wrong.
As most will know, my nearest dealer is currently 90+ miles away in Berkshire following the bankruptcy of Freestyles half an hour away. I rang them and they were very helpful and appreciated my predicament and said I could use the free recovery that comes with the bike (never knew it had it) but to try 5 or 6 engine cycles as that might clear the warning until I can get the bike up there for its 600 service in a few weeks when it’s warmer for my ancient bones. Until they get the bike, they can’t scan the ECU to see if there are any error codes.
I tried the start/stop cycling and disconnecting the battery but nothing happened.
Neither KTM recovery (through the AA ) or Britannia Rescue can help and they wouldn’t take it to Bracknell anyway.
I have now realised the the Tractional Control and ABS warning lights are on.
CSS - now Bike Sport Global - say they have no power over the recovery company and I really don’t want to risk riding the bike that far with three amber warnings showing.
Any thoughts or comments?
I’m going to email BSG anyway but it looks like I’ll have to hire a van and drag up there but it also needs an extra 50 miles on it for them to do the first service.
