Hi everyone - tech help needed (long post - sorry in advance). I have taken my 2008 GT1000 out of storage after approx 3 months. First of all battery seemed dead - I optimated (trickle charged) it overnight and it seemed to have good charge. Everything worked when ignition key turned to on - relays clicked / fuel pump operated / dials swept but when pushing elec start button - nothing..just a click and the headlight turns 'off' (goes to sidelight) - nothing else operates until I cycle the key off and on. So, I replaced battery. New battery turned the engine over fine but bike didn't start. It flattened the battery and it just started clicking again....(for some reason couldn't even jump start it)...so charged battery with my optimate. Bike then started fine!!! Yippeee!! Until the next day....exactly the same thing is now happening. No turnover - just a click and out goes the headlight (or very dim). I'm guessing immobiliser problem. So battery is fully charged. I have tried all my keys - no different. I checked all fuses, checked / remade earth connection on engine / power connector to starter motor - all wiring connectors etc. I have noticed when key is turned on all dials sweep etc. the OEBD amber light stays on as does the amber led warning light - this is why I think its an immobiliser issue...Any input or assistance would be appreciated.
Update 1 - just went to the bike put in key and nothing...all same. Took key out put it back in turned on and OEBD light went out and bike turned over and started....so then took key out and did it again and the OEBD light stayed on and no turnover of engine and headlight of / dim when push start button...I obviously have some kind of intermittent immobiliser issue
Update 2 - I have found if when I turn ignition key on and wiggle the surround that is around the ignition barrel (which has the transponder receiver in it) the OEBD light goes out and the bike will start. So its def immobiliser / transponder receiver issue. Is this part available?
Any other ideas people??
