Hi All,
Hope everyone is safe etc....
Going back the end of last year I bought a brand new R1, I only managed to get 200miles on the clock before the winter arrived and of course so far this year it just rained in the UK and then the whole Covid pandemic hit everyone. So the bike has been sat in the garage...
It's been stored in a vacsac with the battery off the bike plugged seperately into an optimate 3 to keep it conditioned... I decided yesterday to get the bike ready to use it to commute into work today just to get some oil around the engine etc... (I don't plan to use it every day, and although I rode sensibly I felt guilty using the bike)
I topped up with fresh fuel to start with and headed off to work (16miles). For some strange reason the 'Engine Check' light didn't go out, the bike rides perfectly and doesn't seem to have lost any power and sounds healthy enough to me. Just wondering if perhaps there is something silly that I'm missing or if perhaps with the battery being off the bike for so long that it could be the cause of part cause of the problem.
It's under warranty although CMC are currently closed for obvious reasons.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Cheers in advance.
