Spanner icon - leave or not

30-06-2013, 01:46 PM

Hi all,

Just got my 696 and the spanner icon came on but it was serviced faily recently.

I thought of getting it to a dealers to have it switched off but then thought I know when the service is due next and once I have had that service then it will just appear again in time.

Do you guys leave the spanner icon on and thats it, I cant see the point of taking it to a dealers to have it switched off only for it to come on again in the future.

Any thoughts and things that have happend to you all would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dealer should be able to reset it over the phone whilst sat on bike

I dropped into the dealer when passing and had them reset it. Seat off, plug in the computer, checked for error codes and reset it in under 5 minutes with no charge.

New ones a bit different from 07 S4RS, all done with buttons on dash and key on and off

Left mine on for about 9 months - had my bike serviced mid June last year, spanner icon then came on in September at the magic mileage, and left it until I had it serviced at the end of May. I know I've had the bike serviced on time or ahead of schedule and have the Snells stamps in the warranty book to prove it.
