Error 01

Hi guys. You are my last hope
(if wrong place, please moderator for a transfer in the right place)


Riding on the Albanian wilderness, big stones, deep water, suddenly it�s turn on red LED temperature. And Er-1. (Motor does not shut down).
I thought it�s overheated and shut off the engine to check what is going on. After the initial inspection, I assumed that everything is ok and tried to start the engine.
And here is a problem, the engine turns on but doesn�t want to start. I tried to enter the diagnostic mode but without success, the error Er-1 means no contact with the ECU and additionally can not start the engine.
I dismantled my motorcycle, I checked the main plug at ECU by the clocks and even a few by the way, but I did�t noticed any damage or marks of water. I put a candle in the pipe to see if there is a spark - no.
I thought it was the end of my adventure and time to look for transport to the base.

Something else struck me and I tried to start the engine in a different way.
I Hold the starter button pressing down the ignition switch to ON and surprisingly I have succeeded ! :-D
Of course, immediately the error Er-1 appeared, but this method was ok to the end of my trip.

And now the question : what can cause this defect?
The battery is OK - Works willingly

Can someone suggest what else should I check? Any advice?
Does it mean that ECU is (partly) dead?
