Crikey, how does it suddenly develop a CAN line error (CAN 38.0 CAN line error)
I suppose you start by checking the usual suspects, such as the small relays and looking for corrosion on connectors

As Skids says, check the usual suspects. If that does not work disconnect the dash and clean the connector with Contact Cleaner. Unfortunately, that means taking the cockpit fairing off.

Just realised that since the bike cut out, the neutral light isn't working, would that make a difference?
It has been working but I wonder if that's related?

Talking to a friend of mine (retired dealer) apparently it will not start if there is no signal from the neutral switch?

Also the 749/999 (different bike I know) had a problem with the rear light wires chaffing on a bracket causing similar starting issues.

As Neil says it could be Neutral related, but with the side stand UP and the Clutch pulled in I think it should override the neutral interlock, worth a try

Hi,
It turns out after a lot of mucking around and taking bits off it was the 5 amp fuse in the fuse box.
I checked this fuse with a meter and had continuity but when I fitted it back in the fuse box it didn't work for some reason (stress fracture?)
Anyway its all back and working and cost 1.50 for a couple of fuses

Thanks for all of your help

Graham

We love a cheap fix

Can you post which fuse number it was in the box, thanx

4 or 6
