Title: Please help m1000s i.e. problem
Post by: oasis on September 17, 2009, 09:16:55 PM
Was wondering if anyone has had a problem like this with there m1000. When I put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "on" postion and the starter starts cranking the bike over right away without me hitting the starter button, the only way to shut it off is too turn the key back to the off position, the kill switch will not stop the motor from cranking over. I checked the starter solinoid and it click and seemed to work but i replaced it just in case and the bike still does the same thing. I also made sure the battery is charged and working properly. Also clean and check the ignition switch to make sure it was working and not stuck. My bike also has a ultimap ecu so im wondering if it some how failed if it could cause this kind of problem or could this have something to do with the immobilazer?

thanks in advance for the help.

Check the wiring, starting at the sidestand switch, all the way up to the main harness.

I suspect you'll find it's fried.

Has your bike gotten *really* wet recently?
Water/condensation in the gauges?
