So, I got a 18' M8 scoot (RG)...I havent ridden it at all and theres only 2,000 original miles on it. My baby is a thing of beauty, shes all black but shes a bit sick.
So see if you can keep up:
I could use all your help.
This past winter I accidentally cracked the original throttle body on my air cleaner trying to upgrade to a Stage 1 air cleaner kit, so I did. i found a 17' M8 used throttle body with like less than 5000 miles on it, and I installed it, and never had a problem.
About 6 months ago, I wanted to take on a new project of trying to install a new Audio system, and I think the new issues began.
I took off my front fairing, my gas tank, I tried it but for the past 2 weeks at that time, the guy who I bought the front channel wiring kit from, turned out to be a real p%%%k!! Anyhow, at that moment I noticed, a check engine light came on over time that just wouldnt go away. and that opened up more issues, it almost seemed like the check engine light was interconnected with more issues over time.
Mind you, I still have that same check engine light, a solid red light right near the check engine light and a constant ABS light while Im riding.
For the past 2 months, Ive been getting trouble codes that when I clear them they always come back to the same ones. My ECM - U0141, U0121
My BCM - U0141, U0121
My RAD-U0001,U0003,U0185
My ABS-U0141, U0003
My SPD-U0156, U0158
So I am obviously going to do the obvious thing which is dump it at the dealer and hopefully have them put it on a scanner and figure out what is going on.
For all I know, I could have pinched a wire putting it all back together again.
SO: the issues that are present from these codes are.
A solid check engine light /red light which wont go away.
The radio doesnt work when I try and connect my blutooth from my phone (it has a speaker with the line through it)-(almost like its muted at the moment).
And after the bike warms up it idles like shit.
It goes from 1000-1200 then it drops to 600,then back up, then 400,then 300, and then it shuts off. (it stalls).
Especially while I'm riding and I'm at a red light, the same idling issue is persistent and present, as if nothing has changed, because it hasnt.
Now My mufflers are starting to pop, sounding like firecrackers, and its really annoying. (as opposed to before when it was just a smooth sounding pipe/muffler).
SO, obviously if your traveling along and a check engine light comes on, the ECM is usually signalling that theres a problem with a sensor, an open wire or a CAN/BUS line which is causing that check engine light to come on. And I've performed multiple DIAG test to retrieve these trouble codes. But, Ive come to a crossroad to just throw this bike in my local river because bad luck just follows me around.
And I have had it, I have so HAD IT!!!
Any idea what is happening?
Thanks
John
