Resetting the engine code on a Honda or Triumph motorcycle typically involves accessing the diagnostic system and clearing the stored error codes. The exact process may vary depending on the specific model and year of the motorcycle. Here is a general procedure that may work:
Locate the Diagnostic Connector: On most Honda motorcycles, the diagnostic connector is located under the seat or near the fuse box. On Triumph motorcycles, it is commonly found under the seat or behind a side panel.
Connect the Jumper or Paperclip: Use a jumper wire or a paperclip to connect the appropriate pins in the diagnostic connector. Refer to the service manual or online resources specific to your motorcycle model for the correct pins to connect.
Turn on the Ignition: Turn on the motorcycle's ignition switch while keeping the jumper wire or paperclip connected. The motorcycle's diagnostic system will enter a special diagnostic mode.
Read the Error Codes: Look for the malfunction indicator light (MIL) or check engine light on the motorcycle's instrument cluster. It will flash a series of short and long pulses, indicating the stored error codes. Count the flashes to determine the code(s) displayed.
Clear the Error Codes: To clear the error codes and reset the engine code, disconnect the jumper wire or paperclip from the diagnostic connector. This action should clear the stored error codes in the motorcycle's system.
Test and Confirm: Start the motorcycle and observe if the stalling issue persists. If the issue is resolved and the engine runs smoothly without stalling, the reset process was successful.
It's important to note that if the stalling issue persists after clearing the error codes, there may be an underlying problem that requires further diagnosis or professional assistance. If you are unsure or uncomfortable performing these steps yourself, it's recommended to consult a certified technician or contact an authorized dealership for guidance specific to your motorcycle model.
