FE/FC 15 350 FC relay noise / flat battery ?

Hi,

When the bike is sitting (not running) it sounds like a relay is regularly resetting itself. Anyone else experienced this? Since its started happening the battery is going flat (No surprise).


Any advice on best place to start?

thanks

There's 2 ways to switch on the main relay. First by putting the handle bar switch in to run mode and hit the starter button. Second by putting pin 5 of the diagnostic connector under the seat to earth.
I suspect the plug under the seat has moisture in it, either at the diagnostic connector or on the ECU itself. Pull the connectors apart and clean with contact cleaner and blow out.
If that doesn't fix it it is basically to the dealer to hang on the diagnostic tool.

Thanks for the info I will take a look this weekend.

From memory these problems did start after the first time I washed the bike with the seat off so will check there first. Its bl@@dy annoying as it can flatten the battery in one night if it feels so inclined.

Add di-electric grease to ALL connectors,,, unless you live in a desert.

thanks.......This?

Yes that's it but you can find it a lot cheaper in other places.

I used my air line to blow out the ECU and connectors.

But then I swapped the original ECU out for a Vortex unit. All back together and no more relay noises.

Thanks for the pointers
