Hi all,
So few days ago I was involved in a collision, where truck rear ended me at an intersection. I stopped for a red light and he didnt make it and took me from the back. Nothing serious luckily, but there is some damage to the bike. Few broken plastics which should be easy to replace (the other driver will pay for it of course).
My question is, however, regarding the closed flex case sensor. It appears that after the collision it is not working properly, i.e. doesnt detect when the case is closed, unless I press my hand on it.
Normally, the bike doesnt start unless the case is closed. Having my hand on it allows me to start the bike, but as soon as I let go, the case open sign on my dash pops up, along with exclamation mark in triangle, but engine still keeps running.
The question I have is if I can still ride it, i.e. if it wont kill the engine while riding? I need to get the bike to the mechanic, which is about 40 kms away.
Also, is it possible to bypass the sensor somehow?
Thanks
Kris
