Starter motor running after taking the key out!! IMPORTANTStarter motor running after taking the key out!! IMPORTANTStarter motor running after taking the key out!! IMPORTANTStarter motor running after taking the key out!! IMPORTANT

If the starter motor keeps running after turning the ignition off, here's what to do:

1. DON'T PANIC

2. Don't waste anytime taking out fuses, checking switches or anything else!

3. DON'T PANIC

4. Get straight to the battery by taking the seat off.

5. Disconnect the NEGATIVE terminal first.

6. Disconnect the POSITIVE SECOND!

7. The starter motor should have stopped by now!

8. If it doesn't ... PANIC...

The reason is that the starter motor relay is connected straight to the starter motor,

and when the contacts are stuck closed there is a mechanical contact that provides the

starter motor with current (Thanks Stu for posting the info on the forum).

Disconnect the starter relay and check with an ohmmeter (voltmeter) to see if there is

a resistance between the terminals.

If there is no resistance then the contacts are open again. Connect it back and shouldbe ok, but replace it as soon as possible as it may happen again.

If there is some resistance (a few ohms), then you cannot use it!

Remove the seat

On the left hand side (as you face the bars) near the battery you will find twoconnectors, male and female. The female connector has two grey wires and the male hasa blue/green wire. Connecting these two together puts the onboard computer intodiagnostic mode. Connect these together, noting their original position for later.

Turn on the ignition but don't start the engine.

On the right hand instrument panel, "EF1" will now display above the MODE button.

Press and hold the MODE button.

While still pressing the MODE button, press and hold the SET button.

Keep both buttons pressed until the "SERVICE" indicator disappears (seems like a longtime, 10+seconds).

Turn off the ignition.

Disconnect the diagnostic connectors and place them in their original position (secondstep).

Turn ignition back on to verify "SERVICE" indicator is out and panel displays normally.

Replace seat.
