red warning light

wandering if red light on my speedo screen has a certain flashing sequence to tell me what is wrong, on a cbr929?

The MIL (malfunction indicator lamp) is the only light with a code system that I know of. Do you have a flash sequence? Count it and we can see what it says. The 600RR codes go up to 49 flashes... so be ready to count.

Just kidding… when the light stays lighted for 1.3 seconds it’s equivalent to ten blinks. So if you see 4 long blinks (1.3 seconds) and 9 short flashes it’s 49. #4 secondary injector circuit malfunction. I have the 929 shop manual... let me know and I'll look up the code for you.

well what did you do to your bike right before the light came on?

Did you drop it???

Wow, could that be anymore confusing???

I'm sorry Josh66... where did I go wrong? And before any jumps on the "lighted" that's grammatically correct. I lost that argument a few years back.

No dude. NOt saying you are confusing, saying the way you have to figure it out is confusing. It would be nice if there was a light that would just say what is wrong. Like "Engine Problem" or something that is simple and doesn't involve trying to count a bunch of blinking lights. But again your directions were great, just think Honda could come up with something better.

Ya, "engine problem" would be sooooo much clearer Just kiddin with ya man! That system actually worked well -- pretty much pinpoints where your problem is. With the advent of digital odometers (I guess so ya can't see the mileage when it isn't on) the code usually flashes there on newer bikes.

Think about it this way.... from a positive view point. It's nice they made it so we can read it without an expensive machine/computer. And 49 lights on the speedo would get a little hard to read.

That is true. They need to put the info center on bikes like they do on some vehicles. But in a positive light, a lot of bikes don't even have all digital guages so that is a plus :)

ok , well i have counted those blinks and it was'nt to confusing i had a total of 3 blinks for 1.3 seconds and 5 quick blinks, totals 35 are you able to find out what that means in the book please... thank you so much.

Code #35 is listed as Faulty EGCV and motor air intake valve servo.

where did you get the manual and about how much is it? i have the haynes manual, but i dont think the codes are in there (could be wrong, never looked for them.) im always looking for ways to be more informed

Me pay for knowledge... never, the best things in life are free.
