My 1600 suddenly developed a fault, whereby the area of the instrument screen known as the ‘menu area’
suddenly flashed up the single word Error, which alternated randomly between appearing, vanishing, reappearing and a brief flickering of the usual -6- splash screen.
The handbook makes no mention of the word single word Error appearing, nor could I find reports of anything similar on various forums.
BMW’s assessment is that it is a fault in an AUX cable, a cable that joins two separate electrical circuits together. As it only appears on start up and tick over, clearing when the bike has been ridden say 20 yards, I guess it’s an AUX cable that connects the ABS check sensor sub-system to the rest of the system. We shall see if BMW are right, as a new cable is on order.
