Can be fixed easily enough if you take the cover off and reapply some sealant of the correct type. Whether that's worth it though is your call. Not going to be a big mechanical issue though... Just a looks thing. J

I subjected my 2014 to a "hard break-in", kinda of accidentally. It's still going fine 12 years and 45k miles later, doesn't use any significant oil and started first press of the button this year after a 4 month sleep. Relax, it's a Honda. J

Ouch ... at least you definitely got the right part! That hole is massive. The satisfaction from a fix of that size ... I bet it feel's great! Good job! J

A new battery is an easy test, but once the engine is running it's not used. Can you read a code while the light is on? J

4 on clutch, brake... It depends, 1, 2 or 4 depending on the situation. It's a question of how much finess versus how much "oh s**t!" is going on at the time. J

@GPJake I've responded on reddit to see if I can some more details. Can't see anything in the screens I have access to. J

If you're inclined, pulling the connectors off the ecu and checking they're clean etc. would not hurt. A few bad or corroded pins could cause havoc. J

Please stop using the g-word in my direction... I'm not the messiah, I'm just a naughty boy. J

OK, so those codes provider a lot of noise to work through. Although 1-2 is interesting and relevant to your issue as could 9-2. If you have a spare IAT sensor (on top of airbox) try swapping that out to see if it makes any difference. First step - make sure the battery is fully charged...

Good write up and diagnosis. If it works fine with the map sensor unplugged, then try replacing it. Have you got it to read out the DTC codes? That could help you a lot. J

Hope you return safely. J

How's the chain slack? A closeup of the procket teeth would also be useful. Also, where's the adjuster on it's guage (by the axel nut)? 4.5k should be nothing for a set of sprockets, closeup pics are a must here. Unless the previous owner didn't oil the chain at all, you shouldn't need to be...

Can you upload a pic of the sprocket, chain and adjuster meter on the swingarm? 4500 is very very low. To be worn that quickly, it must have almost never been oiled/lubed. Are you the only owner of the bike? J

Sounds like a good plan. Just keep the xring chain well lubed. J

I run did vx3 here. I swear by them. With an oiler I'm getting nearly 20k from a chain. I'll always spend the extra for a did xring J

Check all connectors / wiring then. If that's all OK then it's going to starting to look like a broken ECU. ECUs are usually pretty reliable though ... so more likely a broken wire / bad connector. J

Yes, assuming you have no blown fuses. They'd be easier to check/fix... So I'd start there. J

They're all the same part. Look at the numbers. Just swap them until you locate the dead one. I expect the other two are for indicators and fan. J

Is there no diagram on the inside of the lid? J

I'd number them (or otherwise mark them) and swap them over until the pump primes. Then you know the bad one. J
