denveryzf Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Good: Saturday I installed one of the Y_Series exhausts that I snagged on sale last week. Install wasn't too bad, and it looks & sounds great, It is a bit louder than I thought it would be, but nothing ridiculous.....and no drone at any speed so far. The works finish is a nice golden color now, and the pipe is quite a bit lighter than stock Bad: I had no idea (until now) that running the bike on the center stand, with it in gear, could cause a check engine light to come on, and when that happens you cant get into the menu by pushing the menu wheel. I was doing this to help get the chain dry after washing it yesterday, so I am pretty sure this is what caused the CEL to come on. Guess I will stop by to visit my dealer soon, and then see about getting the correct part to make an OBD2 to Yamaha adapter dongle..... not being able to clear CEL's without visiting a Yamaha dealer is unacceptable...

Premium Member mikerbiker Posted December 18, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted December 18, 2018 That exhaust fits nicely in line with the bike. Are you changing fueling w the full system and if so via PC5 or flash? Thks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member whistler Posted December 18, 2018 Supporting Member Share Posted December 18, 2018 Mikerbiker, DenverYZF, that is . . . I lube my GT's chain on the center stand while running, but I feather the clutch a little to slow it down while applying the spray lube. Never had the CEL come on yet. I've read about it happening, but so far this method works great for me.

gv550 Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 I wonder if removing the rear ABS sensor before running the wheel with the engine would prevent the CEL? 2019 Tracer GT, Ontario, Canada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellow Posted December 18, 2018 Share Posted December 18, 2018 Used this post to get the plug/cable/scanner and it worked like a charm. You do have to check the continuity on the cable as the colors won't match what you get. ST-Owners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I must have gotten the rear wheel moving fast enough to make it unhappy. I did get the CEL cleared by the dealer today at lunch time, so all is well.......

I also received email confirmation from 2 Wheel Dynowroks that they also have their flashes complete for the GT. They also have a special on right now for $275 with return shipping.

Yes... that was definitely the cause. They couldn’t tell me if there is a certain wheel speed that will trigger this though. There are several Yamaha bikes behave this way, so the dealer has seen this a few times recently... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what happened to mine when I replaced the Exhaust I still have the O2 sensor, the light was definitely due to me running the bike, in gear, in the center stand. The dealer confirmed this. The bike was never powered on without the O2 sensor being connected as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get it for $840 with tax & shipping from the Yamaha accessories site while it was on sale, which is the lowest price I've seen do far of this system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
