:-(

My VFR has just developed two problems:

i) No speedo & odometer(other instruments working)
ii) FI light comes on after 20-odd minutes and stays on until ignition turned off and on again.

Otherwise the bike runs fine.

It's recently been serviced and had a ScottOiler (100 miles before problems started).

My guess is the speedo sensor has been knocked/moved when replacing the chain, so I'll investigate that, but any thoughts on the FI light - could this be related to the ScottOiler at all?

My money is on a disturbed connector on the loom somewhere. My engine light came on when I'd forgotten to plug one of the sensors back in (not the speedo one though). There's probably a way to encourage it to give you an error code but I don't know what it is (google). Initially though have a scout around for loom connectors being loose, unconnected, broken etc before you do anything complex.

Well as long as I get around to phoning the dealer tomorrow - last day of warranty biggrin

My suspicion is something has come loose / disconnected and therefore if it's a quick fix I'll DIY.
