GN #nostr.

Today was a small victory before fishing even began.

The other day, when I was on my daily motorcycle ride, the check engine light came on. Asked a mechanic friend about it, and he said I could either pay a place in town $35 to scan for codes, or take it back to the dealership (would mean trailering it over 50 miles each way, and probably $50+ in fuel costs.)

So left it with the battery disconnected overnight, next day, hook everything back up, light still on.

I already have a bluetooth OBD adapter that I use on our cars with the Torque app all the time. Huntung around the internet, I found a $15 adapter cable that would allow the motorcycle to be hooked up to a normal OBD-II port scanner.

Today that cable showed up, hooked it up, was able to clear the code (an O2 sensor triggered it). No more light.

Learn basic mechanics. You will save a lot, even if you don't do all the hard stuff.
