EOBD light of death, yet again!
 

My bike as much as I love it, seems to be wanting to break down with every fault code it can think of. It's already had the ones associated with the fuel pump relay a couple of times but today it now doesn't want to play properly because it would rather keep showing codes 10.2. and 11.2 which after checking basically seems to be the ignition coils shorting to earth. This is happening intermittently and causes the bike to stop when the light illuminates.
I have phoned the nearest dealer who advise that the codes could be caused by a variety of gremlins.
So has anyone else had these codes shown and what caused them on your bike. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks

One for Nelly;)

It's a 2003 but had one pack changed last year to the later type under warranty. To be honest, I bought a pair of coil packs ages ago on ebay cos I'd heard they messed up often, but I wouldn't imagine that they would both go faulty at exactly the same time though. I may change them at the weekend, just to see. It's getting a bit annoying because you start to wonder everytime you use it if you will complete the journey. I'm really tight and will only take it to somebody else to look at if I get really desperate, but that time may come soon!

is it both or just one?
you now what to do, it's a quick job to put the new coils on,
sorry is all bad luck for you, but the coils do seem to go quite often,
I guss thats what it's like when there that highly tuned,a race bike for the road,
140 bhp from a twin, and that's why we love them so
:flame: :burn: :burn:

I think with that error have heard that it may be the pick up sensor on the alternator cover lhs of the bike which provides the signal to coils etc

Thanks, I'll have a look at that then.

And to make matters worse, it stopped on me on my way to work. And then stopped a second time and was difficult to restart. I managed to get it back home and went to work in the car. It's a brilliant ride when it's working but I am beginning to get voices in my head telling me to get rid and buy something from those nice Japanese people.

If replacing the coil/plug caps hasn't or doesn't sort it, then the error Bolds mentioned could be the cause. It's the crank sensor, just to the left of the water pump housing in the alternator cover.

Thanks Nelly I may be in touch soon, to be honest I haven't had time to have a proper look yet.

Update. Crank sensor replaced today and it's run for 10 whole minutes without breaking down- which is a record. Fingers crossed and RAC card at hand for tomorrow!!

Prizes this time go to Bolds and Nelly for correct diagnosis. It definitely seems that a new crank sensor has cured it. WHOOPEEEE!!!
Many thanks to both of you.

Oh dear. Used it three times to get to work on. Tried starting it to go home on third day and it refused to start. Then the dreaded light came on again!! This time the fault codes showed 12.2 and 13.2, fuel injectors shorted to earth. Also the fuel pump whirring noise had stopped. These symptoms last appeared 10 months ago when the fuel pump relay gave up the ghost. A new one cured it that time so I've ordered another. The thing is, do they tend to break that quickly or could it be something more sinister and difficult to find? The new Gixxer 750's are beginning to look quite nice- and reliable. Any ideas anyone?

I would say buy the lack of replies it should last longer than that,
I think you got a friday afternoon special,
