I joined this forum because I did a search for Euro-4 details and then saw a post advising people to put their bikes on the centre stand, spin the back wheel by putting the bike into gear and applying the brake to see if the front brake lever also affected the back brake.
Murphies law kicked in and I can't now find it again.
So, this is a warning to people that this practice *may* result in an engine warning light comming up.
I wanted to re-lube the chain on my MT-09 Tracer, so I put it on the centre stand and wanted to warm the chain before applying the lube, so I spun the chain up by putting the bike into 2nd gear and releasing the clutch slightly to spin the chain.
*THAT WAS A MISTAKE*
That was detected by the sensors that monitor the front and back wheels and I got an engine warning light come up. I was going to enter a motorway to go to an event but decided not to go. A week later the dealer had a slot to check and confirmed that the error code was that the back wheel and front wheel sensors were saying that there was an error.
So, unless you have an adapter and a error code reader and reset (I'm still trying to find out which connector and what code reader to use) don't spin the back wheel when the front is not moving at the same rate as you will probably get an engine error that wont clear until someone with a code reset system resets it for you...
