First, it is important to say that I prefer not to take the Versys 650-2017 to a dealership.
I assume the issue has to do with a electrical malfunction I experienced last time I rode it.
Here is the full scenario:
I had an issue of starting the bike if the stand was down. It eventually fix itself.
Eventually it came back with a vengeance, not just would not start with the stand down, I had to press the clutch and have the stand up to start.
But, no check engine light.
Last time I rode it, I did not notice I had the USB charger in the lighter port.
This is a special charger, it also reads the voltage in the battery as soon as you start the engine.
I was not aware, but this charger has an issue, it was discharging the battery of my car, as I found out after my issue.
The day it happened, I went to work and back.
When going, I had no issue, but, coming back, it was crazy!
It was like the bike was turning on and off every few seconds. Through out the ride.
The motor was not dying, since I was riding, even though the "battery was disconnected", but, because of the speed the motor would not stall.
However, looking at the panel, was scary. It was going off and on constantly.
The ride however was fine, meaning other than the electric malfunction, there was no other issue.
If I were not looking at the panel, I would not know there was an issue.
Only after this ride the check engine started.
Some questions:
Is there a way to use an OBD device to read the issue, for this Versys?
Are there any suggestion as to how to proceed from here?
Thanks
