Used a test wire and got my trouble codes:


24: Front Ignition Coil Voltage out of range.
25: Rear Ignition Coil Voltage out of range.
42: Cam Position Sensor .
56: Crank Position Sensor and Cam Position Sensor Timing.

24 and 25 are linked it seems and the manual says that often times code 56 comes up as the result of code 42. Now my question is, the bike starts up and runs fine, so do I need to start the bike up 50 times to see if it's all fixed and the engine light goes off or is the bike even safe to ride with those codes showing?

Always something....

Anyone know if I'm safe to ride with the engine light still on if things seem to be running ok or am I asking for something bad to happen?

I can't get the bike in to a shop around here for a week and still want to ride but not if it's risking doing some damage to the engine. Thanks.

Do you have a meter to check the voltage while it's running? They are fairly cheap.

I do. What voltage would I be looking for while it's running and which code would that check for? Thanks.
