My Bip suddenly displayed a yellow engine management system light the other day. Of course I assumed it was the low fuel light... Bit surprised when it only took £10 of fuel - and , of course, came on again when I restarted. After a 3 mile journey I stopped for 1/2 an hour - on restart no light... when I hit the main road and increased revs a minute later...back it came on again. First thought , Ducati electrical connections and the fact it has not been used for about 10 days. Spoke to Dave Robinson at Wandsworth , his first question was - "is it running alright?"..."Perfectly" I answered .. Then he told me not to worry about it as it could be clutch cable indicator (?) or a host of minor things. Of course it;s a yellow not a red light - more for information than danger... Any thoughts? www.facebook.com/caferacercoffeebar
Don't the bips have a hydraulic clutch? All my mono electrical problems and there were many were due to the loom getting caught against a bracket in the headstock which started cutting cables. Problems mounted as more went. A bit of solder and a new sleeve sorted everything in one go.
Rather than trying to guess what the problem is, you need to get the bike connected to a diagnostic (JPDiag or Guzzidiag would do the trick). That would give you the EOBD code for the problem. I'm not aware of a routine to bring the codes up on the dash for the SC. The starter/fuel pump/coil relay is always worth a check as these cause no end of EOBD problems due to corrosion.
