Help Please..Check Engine Light/No Gear Indicator

[Georgia Boy]

Gents,
I drive a 2010 Roadster. On the way to work this morning, my check engine light came on and I noticed my Gear indicator remains in first regardless of what gear I am in (other than neutral). The bike appears to run normal, and there isn't any difficulty in shifting gears. I checked the oil and it is good. I just checked the Radiator Fluid over the weekend, and it was also good. Since I am stuck at work all day, I was hoping someone out there might know what is going on here, or have had a similar issue.

I do have access to Tuneecu at home. Will this read engine fault codes?

Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Bobby

Do you have a GIPro? If so, is it the gear indicator on the bike or the GIPro indicator? I had a bad connection on my GIPro that caused the exact symptoms.

No GIPro. I am thinking that it may be the Gear Indicator Sensor, but I will have to do some research to find out where it is. However, I do not know if this would trip an engine light.

It may trip an engine as the gear sensor does a couple of the things with the engine management system.
It's not just an indicator for the rider the EMS does a lot of calculations for fuel , ABS etc

Thanks for the feedback. Can you tell me where the sensor is, and is it a simple removal to clean?

Never had mine off but I think there might be a small spring loaded bit to watch for as you remove it?

Thanks for the heads up. I will have to be careful. I am going to look for Richards post to see what I can find.

Hey Hans, How is your new AFR map going? I'm dying to be one of your guinea pigs when it is ready.

I will post some pictures when I get home of the gear position sensor so you can cleanit . If its dirty it might just throw a code, this will be faster then using the search tab on this site unless you have a life time.
