Hi folks
I went for an 800km ride into the Riverland on the weekend and about halfway through I noticed the speedo needle resting at zero (my GPS indicated 110ish). Not long after, the FI light came on. The needle would start working again but the light remained on. I stopped, let it idle in neutral and put the stand down. The FI light blinked a long blink and then a short blink - Code 11 or Vehicle Speed Sensor. I had no other issues and the bike rode fine (although I reckon the fuel economy got worse, I was riding at about 4.9 l/100km and it was in the mid 6's or more whenever the FI light came on). With stopping and starting things would reset themselves but soon the needle would drop and then the light would come on a few minutes later.
Before I start peeling tupperware away and go searching for the elusive problem, has anyone else had a similar experience. The only other thing which may be part of the problem is the last time I had my fork seals done I reckon they used rotary hoe gearbox oil in the forks as they are rock hard and I get bad jarring hitting a small pothole. I was wondering whether that has shaken something loose.
Thanks ... Mark
