Engine Stop while riding

Wolfman_ · Jun 23, 2015

Dear all,

during last ride ..while I was on highway , my ST1300 for 2 seconds had an engine stop. I noted the rpm goes to 0 FI light on and HISS light on ... then bike restart and goes normal. Since that moment ( 2 weeks ago) this event show up every time I use the bike ..

Battery on ..

What could be ??

Thanks

FI light on

This indicates a fault. The ECM can tell you what it thinks the problem is. Ask it, let us know what fault codes it has stored and we can go from there.

ECM == Engine Control Module.

After the engine has started, the FI indicator only lights when there's a fault present. The ECM remembers fault codes it has seen, so if there was something that caused it to stop running the engine, the code for that will be stored.

I had this exact problem, with the same symptoms, on my ST1300 and it turned out to be dirty contacts in the kill switch. I opened the right switch pod and sprayed everything out using a plastic safe electrical contact cleaner, whilst working the switch back and forth. Solved the issue and it has not recurred.

Don't overlook the other possibility of a loose or dirty connection in the ignition switch assembly.

What he ^ said.
As long as you're in the neighborhood the go button could use a cleaning as well. I've needed a shot of plastic safe contact cleaner in there although I haven't taken it apart for a proper cleaning yet. Same with the turn signal switch which did act up on me once.

You should have said something earlier. We were there Sept 2013 and stopped in Naples on our way to Pompeii. You have a beautiful country.

Finally,the problem was found.and solved:
Under the tank there is a rubber tube, that during the year get broker. From there fuel come out and the drops wet.a rel?. As soon as I try to:turn light on,use blinker,adjust the Wind screen..etc etc. The control unit? get in alarm.and engine stop.
I fixed the tube,change rel? and re-mapping the c.u.
I hope my experiece will help.
Pls contact me if my negli was not clear
