engine light comes on and off

My engine light comes on a few seconds before I take off, and comes off every time I get in neutral...

Service has been done about 4 months ago. At 74,890 kms.

They check the issue and said the bike is ok. That might be only a sensor fail...changing this sensor will cost around 240 U.S.A. dollars.

Any comments are welcome... thanks in advice...

^^Does this means it is intermittent?

Could just be a loose connection somewhere if it is? I had a similar problem when the light came on when I braked and came to a stop, but as soon as I accelerated away it went off. It turned out the there was a loose wire that was moving about on the AIT sensor connector which made contact when weight transferred rearward (acceleration), and lost contact when weight transferred forward (braking).

When you have the ignition on (engine not running) is there a flashing fault code on the engine trouble light? If not (because it's not currently showing the fault) then you should be able to find out the fault code using a diagnostic tool.

Did the people who did the service read the historic fault codes stored in the ECU to get some idea of which sensor is causing the issue?

Thanks Pleiades...!!!

There are no codes...

Yamaha Acapulco did the service and they check the bike looking for a trouble...They told me that might be a fault sensor, they even gave me the name and the price...but, to be honest I dont remember the name...

Last night, I came back home after a while running, and the engine light has already gone for about 5 minutes...
Today I havent ride the bike... I guess I*ll see ...

Also, guess I need to check my connections and contacts...as you did...

When you find out what it is, make sure you post the outcome. All useful stuff to add to the knowledge bank on the forum.
