anyone else have a problem with check engine light coming on but no error message listed on the control panel. 2009 monster 1100, any help greatly appreciated

Are you due for your 600 mile service? That trips the service light to come on.

My M1100 has about 150 miles on it, no check engine light so far. Best to bring it to the dealer to check it out.

When my 696 came time to service I got a little wrench by where the revs show. I would go to the dealer you got it from, and see what they say.

finally got to the dealer and it was a bad motor in the exhaust, thanks for all your help. they just replaced it and so far so good

My check engine light came on at around 1630 miles. It turned off and re-appeared at 1800 miles. The error code was EXVL (exhaust valve motor). I'll be bringing it to the dealership soon.

guess this definitively answers my question as to whether or not a full exhaust (Quat D ex box) for the M1100, which eliminates the exhaust valves, would cause a check engine light. thanks for the input guys.

On the 1098, QD includes a plate to mimic the existance of the exh valve. With it installed, there was no CEL.

I think we have the QD ex box in stock now. Contact Matt at [email protected]. Ask him to check for you...I'll send him a note to expect your email.

There is no need to fit a plate on the exhaust valve motor. You can simply disconnect the steel wire that is connected to the valve.

The exhaust valve motor will do an initial self test on startup. It rotates 180 degree and then comes back to the original position.

It must be a new exhaust valve motor that they are using on the M1100. My dealer was also surprised to hear that. But I simply tried it out and it worked fine.

I tightened up the adjustment on the motor cable which caused the light to come on. For the record, the check engine light doesn't come on at 600 miles, the little wrench shows on the speedo is all.

Check engine light also

I have 130 miles on the clock and the check engine light has started to appear.
Interestingly, when I open the gas tank the light goes off. I am taking it in to the dealer to have them check it out.

I have had my CEL coming on for a bit and finally got it in. They are saying its the exhaust motor and are waiting for DNA to tell them they can replace it. I guess I am the first my local dealer has seen.

I hope they fix this soon, the weather is great!
