Intermittant Engine Light
I have a 99 RK Classic, fuel injected, recently bought it. Was running poorly, started hard, wouldn't idle, etc. and the engine light came on alot. Brought it to a trusted local mechanic, I like him, he's been around for years. After working on it he said he needed to replace 2 sensors (crank and cam) and cleared out the stored codes. Its now running fine, however the engine light still comes on and off at different times. I was anxious to the get bike back (was there a while) so he said the engine light coming on and off was the only remaining issue. He said it would take him a while to trace it down however the bike is all set otherwise, that it should run fine. Basically he's not a big fan of the pre-2002 FI systems, he said they were problematic. Anyone encounter anything like this before with the light coming on and off? I have the bike now but next time I need something done I'll have him continue to trace down what is causing the engine light to come on and off.

RE: Intermittant Engine Light
Ok, just checked for the codes and got them. When going through it I went through 10 readings, 7 were clear but 3 had codes. At the end it displayed "CAL 03".
Here are the codes I found, can anyone help with what they mean?
For the 2nd readings: D025E
For the 6th readings: D065E
For the 10th readings: D105E
All of them had an additional character on the end, it was like a capital "E" without the top bar. Like and "L" with a dash in the middle. Any ideas?

RE: Intermittant Engine Light
My friend is making a new kit to get rid of the fuel injection and go back to carb.S and S carb like $300 dolars harley wants to sel you a new fuel injection for way big bucks.You cant get a new Harley w/carb any more.Harley is engineering how to suck more money out of our pocket insted of making a better bike, damn greedy basterds should have done more research before they came out with fuel injection,The japs ben doing it for years.Look at the V rod took Harley 100 years to figure out how to make a jap bike.Dont get me wrong love the bike but just dont like the people running the company.Later

RE: Intermittant Engine Light
Ok, I went and read my service manual and realized that I checked the codes incorrectly. I just "correctly" checked them and its coming back with one code, 42, which is for the Camshaft Position Sensor. I know both the Camshaft and Crankshaft sensors were just replaced. When I took it for a ride the engine light would come on for a while, off for a while, etc.
Any ideas?
