My GTS engine light is on - the scoot starts stops and goes along ok. Its on constant, even before starting - any clues? My dealer is awaiting the box of tricks to run the diags.
Its got the pm module and a scorpion exhaust and has done 12k miles. |

check the lamba senser on exhaust downpipe is tight and connection to loom is good.
check scorpion for cracks/leaks.
really needs to be plugged in to diagnostics to find fault
if it's a terminal thing the system will shut the engine down and protect it before it goes bang so i've been told by a reputable source...... _________________

my scorpion has got more cracks than a ten storey whorehouse
as far as i'm aware it's the 2 stroke mild steel PM's that have a habit of cracking, if i could afford a PM for my GTs i'd have one tommorrow _________________

just get to any dealer let them plug the computer in instead of waiting for your one all good dealers should carry the diagnostic comp to do it _________________ GTS OWNERS CLUB

|

I popped into scooterden in hackney and they plugged it in. its the lamda sensor - £104 plus labour.
I tested the connections and the problem is still there. I have a pm pipe on my Et4 but I take it out every now and then.. In london you wont get away with illegal pipes.
i'm doing the knowledge to have to have a clean licence as well!! |
