i had a similar thing happen to me...i wouldn't worry about it unless it stay's on after restarting the bike..

 

I agree

 

I see this issue alot w/ gixxers.

Is this an issue that would be covered under the warranty?

 

From personal experience my best guess is that you have the early signs of a bad SET valve. That's what started happening to me about 10K miles ago. Turned it on, FI light was on, turned it off and back on, no FI light. Then it wouldn't happen for months. But over time it became more and more frequent until one day my SET valve completely failed and blocked my exhaust almost 100% to the point that I barely got home. It wouldn't rev past 6K and topped out at a whopping 60mph (down hill). So do yourself a favor and do what I should have done to begin with and remove the SET valve. The same night my SET valve failed I removed the servo motor, disconnected the SET valve and cut the SET wire going to the ECU. First start up my bike ran fine and has never had an FI light or any other running problem. It took about 30 minutes (most of which was fumbling for tools).

This exact same thing happened me on my 2003 k3 1000 last week!! fi light came on and the bike wouldnt go over 6k rpm! stopped and turned her off and back on again and she was fine, strange isnt it? it must be this set valve jamming?! gonna get it sorted during the week

 

Thanks for the info. It hasn't happened again... so far.

I'll keep an eye on the SET valve situation. I'm not going to mess with it just yet though.

 

my 04 600 gsxr w/ 56k did this, but it stayed on after i rode away. i would also have to turn the key on & off 3 or 4 times before it would go off. we checked the code but it kept coming back c00 with the dash in the middle. any ideas?

 

Mine does that on occasion...If I don't wait for at least 5 seconds after turning the key and pushing the switch to on before hitting the start button, I get the FI light...It goes away after I turn-off-wait-restart...

 

does it really matter if you dont wait for the fuel pump to prime before you start it. cause there are times i dont and nothing happens to mine 07 gsxr 600.
