    Check Engine Light - on for 10 seconds after starting

    I suspect this has something to do with the way I've disconnected the exhaust flapper, as it seems to go off the first time I close the throttle after first moving away from standstill after I start the bike. I've never seen in come on outside of these conditions. Has anyone else experienced...

    What engine RPMs

    I apologize in advance for the possibly stupid question. When you are just cruising at a steady speed, what RPMs do you ride at? I find below 4K the engine seems to be straining and above 5K it wants a new gear. I'm relatively new to motorcycles, so any input would be appreciated.

    Hi, I am a new Hyperstrada user. My bike has reached 1000km yet. When it was 900km, engine started to go unstabilized under 3000 rpm. Sometimes, It acts like it will stop under 3000 rpm. When I go to the service for the 1000km service, they said it is normal due to engine type. Is it true...

I recently moved the bike to my home garage (not heated) and almost every time I start the bike when it is cold (30-40 degrees), the check engine light comes...

    Throttle Blip leads to Engine Knock

    Hi all, Maybe it's the heat, ethanol, oxygenated fuel, but a new thing has popped up with my 2700 mile '13 HS. If I'm crawling along waiting for traffic to move again or a light to change, and I blip the throttle to match revs to gear to start moving again (maybe in second because I'm still...

    Engine noise... am I imagining it?

    OK, coming from a 2010 KTM Duke 690, a clattery noisy beast, I sort of expected that the Ducati might be a little less noisy. I found it to have a similar level of engine noise, and an intoxicating level of exhaust noise. Yesterday I put the Evotech radiator guard and the lower guard too. Not...
