Tenere NoGo...

...

when starting the bike this morning:

- starter motor did its job just fine
- engine failure indicator light comes on when pressing the starter button
- all electrics seem to work fine
- hooked it up to a car battery just in case the bikes battery had gone bad... but no effect

...no reason to pity me: had to pull out the MT-03 to take me to the office so there was a grin on my face when I finally arrived!

Any idea's? I'll try to get some diagnostic information from the bike's CPU (how's that done? Is it in the workshop manual?)

Nooooo....

I've got some tips from another (Dutch) forum. I'm gonna give them a try this evening. Something procedure to reset the CPU&TPS.

Problem solved by:

- push starter button
- open throttle to the max

... hoppa! TjouTjouTjou... changes to BlobBlobBlob!

This seems to be the way to reset an confused ThrottlePositionSensor...

the same thing happened to me a couple of months ago.the bike churned over fine but no attempt of firing up, so i used my van instead. when i returned home the bike started only after i tweaked the throttle while trying the starter.

so mine has suffered this computer/tps confusion, at least we know how to reset
thanks for that!

fine, so you pulled the throttle max and started when holding the throttle ?
