welcome aboard.

From what I could tell troubleshooting JP’s 821 indicators a while ago, BBS
is crypticly ‘black box system’, so essentially the chassis ‘brain’ like the ECU is the engine ‘brain’

Welcome aboard NSR500, there are indeed a few of us about in the Central Belt, our “Head Honcho” is from West Lothian….I expect he’ll be along soon !
A favourite run for some of us is Biggar (The Coffee Spot) ,Moffat , Dumfries then back via Thornhill…..hopefully see at some stage…..and not pushing it up the road !

Thanks Rob, I never knew bikes had black boxes.
Ironic how shortening something to initials, presumably to save time and ink, simply takes more time and words to explain.

Yup, thats pretty much it, the modules all need to talk to each other and mine isnt talking to anyone else, hence limp mode.
