At the risk of getting the sword, or being beaten about the head and shoulders from others, I have a situation that I'm not sure has been addressed in the 1,647 threads there are about the beloved KI-PASS system.
My C14 is a 2012 model, essentially unadorned but for Steve's ECU flash, a slip-on, and a couple of other unrelated things.
Yesterday, after work, I did what I usually do:
- Pressed down on the stovepipe and saw the knob thingie on the panel.
- Turned the knob from the 7 o'clock position to where the bezel says "run".
- Encountered no detent at all where the knob should have wound up, resulting in no Christmas-tree lighting ceremony.
I tried this multiple times -- turning the knob, getting no engagement. Returning the knob to the "off" and "FSS" positions; removed the knob, reinserted, continued fishing around for the knob to detent where it should have. Nichts, nada, zero, zip.
At this point, I was getting slightly worried. "Am I gonna have to leave the bike parked here and call my wife in order to get home?" I asked myself. Said a little prayer to the KI-PASS god.
That must have worked, because eventually, the knob stopped at the "Run" position, the Christmas-tree lighting ceremony happened, and I was able to ride off into the sunset.
WTF happened here?
