Hi Folks, I am looking for any advice with a fault on my bike:
I started the bike up and rode it out of the garage and switched it off. After about 5 minutes I started it again and the Engine check lamp illuminated and the bike went into limp mode.
I connected my ODBlink and Motoscan (Ultimate) and had the following codes:
3A1461, 3A1462 (both are do with Exhaust flap servo motor which I have now rectified by un-seizing the butterfly valve in the exhaust and cleared that code)
Also present were 3A13D4, 3A13D6, 3A13D9 & 3A13D0 - all throttle grip sensor faults. I took the throttle grip off checked wiring connections etc. and reinstalled it and reset all the values with Motoscan, cleared all the codes and now only have 3A13D6 error - and this is when it gets weird - according to BMWfault.codes that is the only one of the 4 codes that were present that doesn't put the bike into limp mode which it is still in and the MIL illuminated? Have I missed anything?
I don't really want to fork out £200 for a new twist grip if it could be something else?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
(Going to a Motorrad dealer is mostly out of the question as I'm located on the Isle of Lewis which is a 2.5hr ferry crossing and a 60 mile trip to Harry Fairbairns in Inverness)
