Hey guys, Nareik (a member here) asked could I post this for him as he's dyslexic and find typing extremely difficult. He bought his 07 'duke (06 model-late reg) recently and stipped it down pretty extensively to give it a mega clean and tidy up a few bits. Now when he starts it, it runs for 5 seconds or so and then cuts out. He has taken the battery out and recharged it to no avail. The fault code W 17 comes up on the clocks which indicates a lambda fault yet he hasnt touched the down pipes on the exhaust. Can anyone shed some light on the scenario? Cheers Jay
Starting then cutting out?

#4Aha....that could very well be it so! I'll get on the blower and tell him to start his investigations so!

#5and remember when your putting the sensor back in the headlight is laid down in the forward position...... have seen it where one was installed with the UP bit up , but when the headlight was refitted it was in fact down!

#6Unplug it and the bike will still start if he's not sure its the issue.
