Stopped for a bit and went to ride home, i turned the igniton sw on and the fi light stayed on. I ended up riding home like that. Amyways after i got home i shut the bike off and tried again the light was gone. This morning same thing, but after it goes through the check i noticed a buzzing sound from the servo right next to the idle adj knob. I tried turning sw on and off several times and it cleaed. Sane thing coming home, i can now tell if the light will stay on by the sund from the servo. If makes noise the fi light wil stay on. I was looking at the manual and from what i can tell i may end up replacing the throttle body. If so this will be a 1500.00 repair. Anyone experience this and if so what was the remedy?? Bought it used form a dealer, so no warranty. Did self diag and get seven long one short, is the code 71??

However if you are rejecting the bike under the sale of goods act, you must notify the dealer immediately and stop using the bike. Good luck.

And that's where the FI light comes on. Thinking the actuator is bad. If this is the cae can the bike be run. There is no warranty and the fix is to replace throttle body, which is at least a 1200. repair minimal.

Therefore I would ask the dealer for a refund and if he wont but the bike runs ok disconnect the bulb. But if it blows up I didnt suggest this.
