So I just got my new used bike. Yesterday took it out for the first time, put fresh gas in it, along with some Redline fuel system cleaner and rode about 45 miles and everything worked as advertised. Got home, changed all 3 fluids using Redline and changed the plugs (NGK). Got it out today, and my engine light came on. I first noticed it as I was accelerating up an on ramp. The light stayed on about 15 seconds, and turned off. I stopped a couple times and shut the bike off. Now every time I start it, the light comes on a few seconds after the engine starts and stays on for 5 or 6 seconds. I did get a little sloppy when I took the oil filter off. I don't know if I got oil on something that would cause the light to come on. Other than that I don't know what could've happened since yesterday. The spark plugs are a different brand from what I took out, but they are the right ones. The oil is a different brand, but that should make zero difference. I really want to be excited about my new used bike, but now I am concerned. Please share your thoughts.

 

I did a little research and learned how to read codes. It shows P1358 intermittent secondary rear EFI, or something like that. I cleared it, started the bike (just idled, no riding) and the code did not come back. What exactly does that code mean, what caused it, how do I keep it from coming back?

 

Anybody?

 

my bike is doing the same thing. What did you do to clear it?

 

I don't know how to post a link from my Blackberry, but I can tell you this. Google harley check engine light. The very first listing on the results will take you to another forum. The second post on that thread contains a link with all the details. Hope this helps

 

Why is this post in the Long Ride Shields forum? Second, what kind of bike do you have so we can help diagnose the code?
