Hey all,
My FI light has come on a couple times this week. Mostly when at a stop light at idle for a couple minutes. The bike dies if I do not twist the throttle a bit. Tried searching for FI but that is to short for a search and adding light to the end gets me all the posts on head lights, tail lights, etc...

I have an 03 1800R.

Thanks
Joe

Did you do the usual steps?
Checked the oil?
Tighten battery connections?

Have you done any maintenance?
Has the FPR been replaced?

Battery cables are the first step. I actually had to do that last night as I was getting an intermittent FI light. Key on, kickstand down it should flash a code. Bareass choppers has all the info you need on the FI light. Google VTX 1800 FI Light codes.

1. Tighten your battery cables
2. Do the ground fix, paying attention only to the "Common Electronics Ground" section as seen on the "How To;Step-by-Step" board here
