Help - Fuel injector light coming on
Just the other day my Fuel Injector light kept turning on and off between 5 and 6 thousand r's and the bike would sputter like a muther. I thought it might be my map, so I switched to the very rich manufactures map last night, which didn't fix the problem. The problem doesn't occur during the first few minutes after startup in the morning. This morning it was fairly cold out, about 50, and the bike would sputter after sitting at a light for a while and then seemed to be OK after working through the initial sputter. The first time it happened, the bike was very warm and I couldn't get past 6,000 r's. I will see if the problem is worse this afternoon during my ride home from work when the bike will get much warmer. Any thoughts? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dread

Funny you should bring this up. Coming back from my Gap trip, I was in the middle of nowhere getting gas. When I tried to crank the bike, it just spun and the FI light was on. I started to panic. Not knowing what else to do, I turned the ignition off and back on. The problem stayed. Getting real worried, I cycled the shit out of the keyswitch and it cleared and started fine. It happened a couple of times on the 500 mile trip home. I assume Dreadlords problem would be associated with a powercommander, but mine is bone stock.

Read the codes and see what the ECU is whining about.

Any additional info Dread?
Try pulling your Power Commander see if that changes it. If so check to see if you have a pinched wire in the harness. If not hook up your power commander to the software and watch Fuel and Ign change if you can to see if one of your tables if out of whack. If it does look like the Power Commander but you can't fix it, post here with some contact info and I will get ahold of you to see if we can get you running again asap.

Unfortunately, my weekend was consumed with work around the house. I will try disconnecting the PC to see if that works and I will see if the PC software shows anything. Not sure how to check the codes. Is that one of those turn off and back on and see how many times the light flashes things?

Saw the same thing on Brian's bike w/PowerCommander. Disconnected the unit and everything was fine.
Interesting that would happen on a stock bike. Hmmm....
