Default Mysterious engine light.

Every time I put a load on the motor(rolling on the throttle to pass, or climbing a hill)the check engine light comes on. Once the load is gone the light goes back out.
Ive pulled the codes and found p261,p263 and b1004. The p codes are low or open fuel injectors. The b code is a fuel level sending unit low.
any help on the cause and repair would be appreciated.

Partially clogged fuel filter? This could result in a decrease in supply pressure to the injectors flagging a fault condition.

Are you getting any pre-ignition under load or while accelerating?

Are you running SE spark plugs? We had this happen about 2 weeks ago on a bike in our shop. Same exact thing you are having. Changed his plugs to regular plug and wham, no more problems.

+1. Didn't have the same codes, but those high dollar SE plugs in the 120r did the same thing. Regular plugs... no more lights.
