A little test required re powering down

[GrinningGSer]

Question:

If you switch your ignition off, then immediately back on, then off again, does your bike fail to power down ?

There are sub requests to that question, such as

a) when back on allow check proceedure, then off again and see if powers down

b)when back on do not allow check proceedure, then off again and see if powers down

c)when back on allow check proceedure and start engine, then off again and see if powers down

d)when back on do not allow check proceedure and start engine, then off again and see if powers down

Reason, I have been told that there is a software issue whereby bike fails to power down if immediately switched back on again- but I cant test it cos I have supposedly had the software fix for this 'possible' problem. Testing needed for confirmation...

Dont know whether there is any relevance to your question, but when I stall my bike I dont have to go through the power up routine - the brakes stay fully operable.

I haven't tried that test, but I have tried to replicate the red warning triangle being displayed after the engine is started...

Normal seems to be complete the Power-On-Reset sequence, leaving N and Brake Failure flashing, then start bike, battery warning momentarily displayed along with Red Triangle, which then goes out.

I've discovered that in some circumstances it does not go out, but stays illuminated. It seems that it is not the POR sequence that matters, but how the engine was stopped.

I need to check it all out again to see if I can do it consistently, but going over Alpine passes I was just concerned to get rid of the light. It seemed that when I stopped using the kill switch, or in gear, or something other than nicely neutral, the Red Triangle would stay lit after the re-start... Any comments??

Its the computers...
