Here you go
Fuel level indicator light• Improper connection• The tachometer displays the condition code 8,000 r/min . it will display as follows ; 0 rpm for 3 seconds then fault code for 2.5 seconds then engine speed for 3 seconds

Re: Fault code
Some people are not into computers and forums and will only seek help as a final resort.
Should these people be ridiculed or helped in the hope that they stick around and possibly add info in the future?
Theres probably a large percentage of people on forums who originally joined up cause they had a problem.

Re: Fault code
Welcome in, best thing you can do to calm the inmates is tell us about your biking history, however boring it might seem to you it can entertain others.
Pics if you can of anything as well.

Re: Fault code
Paul theres no need to be shy & never take anything on here personally , i'm sure your not the oldest bloke here i think the average age is 40 , as for your R1 not being pristine have you seen mine pmsl . Go have a look at the projects section & Mark YPVS's triggers broom ( R1 on a budget ) .paul brown wrote:I am sorry i am an old bloke and a bit shy and never done this before, have brought the bike as a bit of fun do have other bikes the r1 is a bit tatty so I don't want to show it as yet so I thought I jump into the deep end with a queston my applogies to every one
