... really piss your owner off!
Me and a mate had a blast up to Donny to Watch Vale stick it to the lesser mortals in qualifying. Good ride, up good time - those Dukes sound awesome.
Off home and just stuffed an R6 down the sliproad onto the M1 when ... nothing. Engine stopped. Dash reading 'Diag 1'.
Started up after a few tries so continued. Stopped again. Started Again.
Few miles on, same routine. Pulled off the motorway at Leicester, 20 mph into McD's car park, did it again.
Not wanting to be stuck on the hard shoulder for several hours, decided to call the AA. Van arrives quickly but the bloke doesn't even bother getting out when I tell him the symptoms - we both know he ain't fixing it.
Two hours-odd later, this truck arrives and I then spend the next three hours going home at 56mph.
We're cutting the bloke's tacho hours down to the second rather than do a transfer to another truck so I tell him to head for the services about two miles from my house and I'll ride it home - sure it'll get that far right? Two attempts to get off the services forecourt and much sprag torturing before it finally ran long enough to get me home.
So, I'll do a search on Diag 1 but if anyone's got any ideas where to start, I'd appreciate them. Battery's OK, dash still working when engine dies. No alarm/immobiliser and not connected the diag wires (if that's what you're thinking:angry) not disturbed anything ... but did put a large lock and chain in the rear compartment to go to Donny with ... mmm, wonder if it moved around and hit something?
I'll check the sidestand switch and kill switch tomorrow but would they bring up the Diag 1 code?
Suspect it's a wire loose somewhere.
