My 2006 749 (with 32,500km) died rather suddenly - the voltage regulator was oscillating between 10.8 and 12.8 vdc for a few minutes as I idled through the neighbourhood. My battery was weak but the bike started without issue. Then the engine just shut down like a switch had been thrown.
Now the gauge lights work when I turn the key - except for the green NEUTRAL light, which won't illuminate. The CHECK ENGINE key indicator is flashing. My mechanic's PC will not connect with the system to get a code download. He changed out the VR (as I gather the voltage regulator is often the problem source when these issues arise) - no luck.
His suggestion is the ECU and/or the gauge cluster is the source of the problem. Anyone out there with a suggestion???
