so I was riding with my buddy and got engine light and battery light while riding... battery eventually died and got stranded at a service plaza... after jumping bike started and got no more engine/battery lights at idle, bike showed no apparent issues while at idle.. no stuttering... as soon as I got on the highway engine/battery warning lights came back... bike died again.. a very good Samaritan in a ryder truck (biker also)... stopped... lifted the bike, put inside the truck, took us to our destination about 120 miles from the point I got stranded and only accepted a handshake (what a guy!!!)..

Error codes are P562, 1141, 1442 ...

what could this be?.. stator?... regulator?.... help fellas!!.... I am 300 miles away from home..

 

First thing to check is if fuses are corroded.

 

I would first go to your battery cables and make sure both cables are tight at both ends. When i mean tight...I mean with a wrench...not just "it doesn't look like it wiggles" tight. A intermittent open condition cause by loose cables can cause all kinds of weird issues. I agree with Von....check the fuses too...esp. if the bike is from 07'-09'.

 

cant find my codes but more like the sporty stator took a dump

 

them EFI bikes suck up that battery quick

 

ok the code
P562=battery voltage low
1141=TSM ignition switch low/open
1442= i dont see that code

these are taken from the sticky of this forum
how old is your battery?

 

Battery voltage low error usually indicates there is no sufficient charging.

 

hope you made out ok joe. freakin' batteries....sometimes it's just good to replace them before they start giving you issues based on the age. getting stranded i'm sure sux major ***. get yourself a battery tender jr. and keep that bitch charged! let us know how you made out.

 

I think the OP meant 1142....I don't think any codes go past the mid-1300's.

1142 = Interal failult with the HFSM (hands free security module - turn signal module). Service manual states this indicates a failure for which the HFSM must be replaced.

1141 actually has multiple codes to it. Turn signals will not flash and ignition switch low/open. There is a trouble shooting process for this although I haven't looked into it a lot as most require a HD breakout box to check connections. It is possible to check it yourself although I haven't read through the process yet.

When exactly did the bike die during both times? At what speed? Do you have a security system on it? If the battery dies in the FOB it will kill the bike although I believe it only happens once the bike is going under a certain speed. Manual recommends changing the battery every year.

 

hey Joebotics
how are you making out on this?
break downs suck but out west it gets nasty there aint **** around for miles and lucky if cell services work i know been there done it

any way let us know whats up thanks
