696 Error code 0003 r.SW

[Paulv22]

Hi all.
Experiencing an issue on start up. When I start the starter turns over maybe once then this error code 0003 r.SW comes up and the computer dose a total reset (trip meter and clock both get wiped) then usually I can restart the bike. This happens most mornings. I though it might be due to cold starts only. But two days ago I had it happen when the engine was still hot from a ride. Finished a quick shop went to turn it over and the starter didn't even get to turn just got error code 6 time in a row. Tried to push start with no luck. Hit the start button again and she came to life. Any help would be great.

Someone poster error 0002 r.SW and people were saying its "battery tender" what does the 0003 code stand for?


Thanks heaps if anyone can help.

Do the following:
check the battery, get it tested and check your fuses and ground cables
