What is this procedure?

flashing code light throttle twist override and it was a good thing I wrote the procedure down a long time ago and stuffed it in my wallet. That's how I start it now.

my immobilizer kept me prisoner for a half an hour today at the 7-11 when i stopped to get smokes. Finally after taking the key out and putting it back in and trying it like 40 times it let me start it up. piece of shit why would they make these stupid things? anyways that procedure would do me a wealth of good right now.

First off the key to the immobilizer problem is that A) the Check Engine MIL lamp stays on after you have switched on the ignition and the gauges/instrument cluster have done their sweep self test. (MIL - malfunction indicator light) and B) when the starter button is pushed nothing happens, no starter crank, nothing.

You have to rule out a weak battery and a possible activation of the engine kill switch.

To run the procedure you also need to know the 5 digit electronic start code sequence (i.e.  33145 for example)

Open throttle wide open and wait for MIL light to go out. Get ready to count flashes. After the light flashes the number of the first digit then full throttle until light goes out. Count the next number of flashes and open throttle again. Do that for each of numbers in the sequence. After the last number hold throttle wide open until light goes out. You should be good to go then.

It can cost thousands to fix this problem.

It's supposed to come with the bike when you buy it, along with one red key & two black keys (and the key code for the cut of the keys). If you bought the bike used then the former owner should have supplied you with this stuff. It's all covered in the owner's manual. If you don't have it maybe the dealer can find out. If you or the dealer can't find this stuff you are definitely screwed and you might still be screwed even yet.  bang head

And this is why we all love high maintenance Italian supermodels.

Might be around 2003 for that system introduction. The latest models have a more tolerant setup according to Will.

Possibly. I forget what the exact deal is because IT DOESN'T MATTER IN MY CASE AND MAKES NO DIFFERENCE TO ME. Will was just trying to make me feel better by letting me know the new ones aren't so bad. Maybe it was a subtle suggestion to get a new one? Sell the 999. Sell the Monster. Buy 1098. Still be in hole.  laughingdp

For SaltLick the best you can hope for is that you have an antenna problem. After that, hoo boy.

Really? That must be a brand new post. Just the usual suspects were there yesterday. I'll go check. But the sad truth is that I can't touch any of the CL offerings because the bike isn't running and I can't sell it unless it is running and I need to sell it to have money to buy something else. Frick!

What is a "stray braket"?  A "braket" that's loose and running around? And, what is a "braket"? I know what a bracket is. $13K? That better be some seriously minor problems. Plus it's yellow and it needs some price reduction for that alone.  laughingdp
