1200 Traction Control Gremlin

  1. This has happened a few times lately: riding along in a straight line, not particularly hard on the gas and TC kicks in, red TC lights flash and power stumbles for a second, then it all goes normal again. No ABS warnings, speedo still shows correct speed also. TC/ABS sensors cleaned and cabling looks fine, wiring on the front end isn’t too tight on full lock. Any ideas?
     
  2. This happened with me and what it was was a coolant leak (from the now recalled coolant pipe) spilling on the back tyre making it slip.
     
  3. Interesting. Which coolant pipe is it?
     
  4. No idea. It was between the V of the engine but couldn't see from exactly where. It was leaking into the drip tray and straight out onto the back tyre. After its service and recall for the coolant pipe its all rosey.
     
  5. I’d have a look for signs of leaks on the garage floor, maybe put some towels under, because it could just be road surface and a high setting on dtc
     
  6. I’m pretty sure I haven’t got a coolant leak but will check, garage floor recently expoxy painted so leaks are easy to spot. TC is set to standard and I ride in sport mode. It has activated riding along the A1 in a 50mph roadworks zone on a whiff of throttle.
