New battery looked like a 24hr cure, I know the bike has codes logged in the ECU now, So its off to the bike shop for connection to the dealer to get the map codes of the fault.
First guess would be the CDI/Altenator unit, not recharging the power circuit and battery system. So the bike only ran off the power from the new battery I just installed.
Diagnostics of fault
Rode the bike to work today, all good, left it at work, rode home halfway home.. riding along, F1 light flashed, F! in the clock LCD, then all the power to the dash cut out, no lights, instruments, nothing working, F1 light stayed on, the bike ran very very rough for about 500m, then it completely stopped. I pulled over, turned the bike OFF, left it for a few mintues, turned the ignition back ON, all lights and instruments all back and working, hit the start button, and it was as if the battery was flat, wont kick over (start), within the time it tried to kick over the motor, all power lost. Again, and all power and instrument, lights gone.
$$$ for alternator, diode repair, regulator, any of the listed, will find out early next week.
Ahhh bugger
