FIRSTLY CHECK THERE IS SUFICIANT COOLANT IN THE SYSTEM, SECONDLY YOU HAVE A FUSE FOR THE FAN HAVE YOU CHECKED THIS?, YOU HAVE A SWITCH IN THE COOLING SYSTEM NORMALY IN THE RADIATOR THIS SENSES THE WATER TEMP, AND SO ON ACTIVATES THE COOLING FAN, IF THE WATER LEVEL IS LOW THE SYSTEM WONT GET UP TO TEMP, IT MAY BE HOT, BUT THE TEMPRETURE METER READING IS MEASURED IN A DIFFERENT AREA NORMALY AT THE THERMOSTAT AREA, IF ALL ELSE FAILS LOCATE THE THERMAL SWITCH ON THE RADIATOR AND REMOVE THE WIRES AND BRIDGE THEM WITH THE IGNITION OFF, THEN TURN IGNITION BACK ON AND THE FAN SHOULD RUN PERMENENTLY, IF IT DOES THEN YOU KNOW THE REST OF THE CIRCUIT IS OK AND SHOULD GET THE THERMAL SWITCHED CHECKED OUT, AND REPLACE IF NESS.

all bikes are pretty much the same. My 1100 sabre is 29psi in front and 32 in rear unloaded.. 41psi with a 400lb load. You still keep the front at 29 with a load on it.

sounds like the thermostat for the fan is not working. This electrical thermostat tells the the engine, to turn on the fan at a certain temp.

You have a earth wire off, this will cause those things or a flat Battery (replace)

check relays for a open one or a short somewere under the seat

I would be checking connections to the E.M.U also the body of the E.M.U for cracks water is getting in somewhere causeing it to short & blow fuses for your bank account sake I hope that the cause is nothing more than water in the fuse box that can be remedied with a tube of silicone & a few minutes to apply it to the mateing surfaces of the fuse box & cover

Take your old ones out and take to Motorbike Parts supplier and say 'I want so eof these'

Bad earth connection!

follow the speedo cable make sure it properly in place on the front wheel and speedo dial and if it is broken you will need to replace it or have it fixed

try charging up the battery, the starter needs around 60 amps to turn over compared to the lights that only need around 5 amps, maybe it just doesnt have enough power to turn it over... hope this helps

There can be multiple reasons for this. Low fuel presure is one cause of this.

If you had dropped the bike the impact can loosen the fuel lines inside the fuel tank. Issues with the fuel pump can cause a low fuel presure. In my case the fuel line was loose but still pushing some fuel into the lines. There is no issue a low rpm cause there just enough fuel to run it at 2000 rpm or lower but not enough pressure to run well at high RPM.

There is a number of things that can cause this engine management light to come on. The fuel could be old, the plugs could be fould. After checking these things, reset the power and test operation. Good Luck

you not getting fuel to the plugs, gotta be carbs or injection whatever you have. berrymans b12 is a good fuel system cleaner

gotta be fuel, bad fuel (gummed up carbs or injection) Berrymans B12 fuel additive system cleaner is very good. double dose and mix in gas tank.
also check or change fuel filter
