Dreaded Check Engine Light

Two words ...... points, condenser! If you need a third word then try distributor.
Ah, happy days.
Yes ...... I really am that old!
Hope it gets fixed to your satisfaction.

 

As the bike is brand new don’t bugger around with it, let the dealer sort it.

 

Sounds familiar, I had exactly this problem with my 2019 Speed Twin.

 

As others have said above, with those sort of miles and esp just after a dealers service it's their problem, not yours.
What I'll add in case anybody is looking at this thread trying to fathom an eml on an older bike is that I can read codes and clear them with a cheap (less than a tenner) code reader that connects to your phone via an app. (free with ads, two or three quid to be ad free). Bought it for the 18 year old car and was pleasantly surprised to find it work on the 18 year old bike. Worth having in the toolkit.

 

Tangent...
Mate of mine has recently picked up a Suzi GT380 Ramair. With an ignition glitch. The solution being ditch the Boyer Bransden unit and go back to points and condensers
Fag paper for timing optional

 

I've got the engine management light on my 2019 Speed Twin too. Tried the 3 cold to hot starting cycle method and that didn't resolve it, so taking it into my dealer tomorrow. Still performs as normal, so hoping its nothing drastic considering the bike is out of warranty.

 

If you've got a cheap OBD2 code reader laying around it may give you a clue, at least to get an error code you can look up online or ask here about.

I got a 20 quid ODB2 reader off Amazon after my car dealer charged me 60 quid to tell me that an O2 sensor was bust, which the cheapo reader could tell me. They are generally handy things to have around to know if a vehicle fault is serious or just something that you can ignore for now, (like a bust O2 sensor).

I'm assuming here the Speed Twin has the standard ODB2 connector like my Speedmaster does, otherwise there may be an adaptor needed too.

As it is I've now invested in a Bluetooth connected OBD2 reader and TuneECU app for my phone so can do my own servicing. I assume that also know about the meaning of Triumph specific error codes too.

 

Thx Brown Mouse. Which O

Thx Brown Mouse. Interesting. Which Bluetooth connected OBD2 reader did you purchase? Do you have a link you can share?

 

I bought the OBDLink LX as it is the recommended one to work with TuneECU app which requires a specific chipset to work, but this is very pricey, about £70 on Amazon. If you don't want to use the TuneECU app and just want to read and reset diagnostic codes then I believe any OBD2 reader will do. Whether bluetooth devices which talk to a phone app you need to install or the self contained ones with their own display. (These seem to be around 20 quid on Amazon). Advantage of a bluetooth reader is they're smaller and I carry mine with my toolkit.

There are a bunch of generic error codes all vehicles support, plus manufacturer specific ones you could probably find the meaning of if required with a Google search of asking on a forum.

The specific things I get from TuneECU is for servicing: i.e.

• Display Manifold Absolute Pressure so can balance throttle bodies
• Reset ECU 'learning' after changes. I've also used this to fix my bike when it started running rough for no apparent reason. For some reason it seams to learn bad habits. (Happened one before as well which was fixed by dealer resetting learning).
  
• Reset service interval (i.e. get rid of spanner symbol on display)
• Drive ABS pump when changing brake fluid

You can also use TuneECU to change engine map, but this is not something I want to play around with, don't trust software not to have bugs and brick the ECU or break engine.

I've just looked and TuneECU is no longer available on Google Play store, it was a couple of weeks ago when I installed it on my new phone. The app is just available on the developers web site, don't know the reason for that.

His son was OBD2. More intellectual character than his dad.
