Hi all; I think I'll probably need to get a mechanic to diagnose... but wondering if anyone else has experienced anything similar or has any advice as the stealership wants over £100 just to diagnose.
Here are the problems:
Indicators stopped flashing and stayed solid at the beginning of last week - put this down to a faulty relay but haven't got round to replacing this yet.
Towards the end of last week, I got false neutral and red lined - then slipped into lower gear. This put the engine light on and then indicators didn't work at all (I presume it may have finished the relay off?).
The engine code flashes 8-6 on start up and stays solid whilst riding (I believe this is a serial communications - PCM to cluster code).
I have noticed that the bike now doesn't pull as well when it's cold (dip in response/acceleration) from throttle until it is warm. The engine feels and sounds normal, particularly after it's warm - but it certainly isn't as responsive when I've just started it and ride off.
I'm hoping it'll be something as simple as the indicator relay - could this cause a PCM to cluster engine light code? Maybe a dodgy battery (it's not been replaced since I owned the bike). Is there a way of diagnosing myself?
Thanks in advance!
