check engine light on?
Yesterday(Sun.) I turned my 07' Street Bob on everything was great. Then I noticed while I wasriding that the check engine light was on. I just recently had PC III, V&H Short shots, and Big Sucker put on the bike. I pulled over let it cool down and then started it again. No check engine light, rode about a mile without going high RPM, when I finally got on it a little the check engine light came back on???? Any suggestions?? I washed the bike Friday got the air cleaner a little wet, but not saturated. Bike sounds ok nothing out of the ordinary..Please reply

RE: check engine light on?
Check that the 2 cables running from the spark plugs are fully seated (make sure you check both ends of the cables)
It's a well known fact that these vibrate loose.
If either is not seated properly i.e. you don't feel it "click" into place when pushed home, the check engine light will come on under load.
I had the very same problem and it was fixed in 2 seconds
Good luck

RE: check engine light on?
Just so I follow you on this....are they running a sensor wire on the spark plug wire? If the plug wire is loose, the cylinder won't fire.[&:]
You guys with the new scooters have the o2 sensors that can foul, and shoot faulty readings, etc.
Weird, ...........but glad you guys have dealt with this problem and more importantly passed on your knowledge concerning this. THANKS!
