F1 message

[2kwacks]

I had the F1 light up and off right way! in fact if I would I've blinked I would have missed it. that was with in 30 miles of collecting the bike from the dealers from new. it only had 1 mile on the clock when I pick it up, so put it down to the bike just "settle down" never come on since, but did ask my local dealer would this cause me any future problems? he said  anythink can cause the f1 light to come on, the fact that the f1 ight goes off indicates there's no problems

  Same here Dave, it flashed on and off so quickly that I too would have missed it in the blink of an eye

I have had this several times and it is nothing to worry about if it goes away quickly
general view it is EM radiation from such things as overhead cables intefering with the massive computing power that is now on all vehicles.
Relax and enjoy the bike

The FI Error message suddenly flashed up again  whilst I was heading off on my jollies, at the time I was somewhere on the M6 Southbound at about 70mph (honest) 

So at the next services where we topped up I filled the bike with a high octane fuel, and continued to do so throughout France, where that choice is more readily available.....no further problems, and the bike genuinly seemed to perform better plus the mpg return was slightly improved.

Throughout the 1000+ miles covered last week the bike has returned 53.4 mpg overall, which aint bad as much of the mileage in the Somme was on back road (100 miles away type territory) 

Maybe the error message is directly associated with octane rating, it does recommend a higher fuel octane in the handbook after all

You may have a point there OC. Perhaps a can of octane boost every now and then could help ???
Thing is, how often would one add it though ?
My FI light has flashed a couple of times but after reading many posts on this issue, it does not worry me. Problem I have now is the REAR TPS battery low message is on all the time. Going to have it replaced under warranty. I think it's very poor for a bike that is not even 18 months old to have this problem !!
