Evening all
I recently bought a ST1300 and all was fine until the battery started to die (That's when I noticed the problem at least!). So before tinkering with it I drove it 3 hours to get it home and I had a few more rides on it the days after I got it, all was fine. I then parked it up for a week or so to do a few mods on it, heated grips, dash LED conversion, wired the sat nav in ect ect.
Came to start it, nothing, so I had to charge the battery first. Upon starting it I noticed the revs were a bit all over the place on idle then the FI light started flashing at me, I found this to mean there's a fault with the MAP sensor. I found out online how to reset the ECM (start up, don't touch the throttle, fans kick in, cut the engine, job done) This cleared the fault and it didn't come back for a few days. Changed the battery as it was shot, had a few rides, all okay still. Left the bike for a week or so and came to start it yesterday, the code is back again! So I reset the ECM the same as before and it was all fine for the days riding I did.
My question is, has anyone else had the same issue with a fault only showing up after the bike has been stood for a while or is this a first? I'm only asking as I really don't want to strip the bike down and fork out for a new MAP sensor if the one I have is okay.
Sorry for the large message but I just wanted to give the full story.
Cheers, Dan
