Does your ABS system actually work?

Do you know how to put your bike in Dealer Mode?

And, as noted, we'll need the year and model to be really helpful.
I have had the neutral light issue on my 2020 DL1050. The sender was replaced under warranty. I think I had a similar issue on my 2015 DL1000.

I have not had the ABS light but I would check the abs sensors at each wheel.

I did have the F1 light on my 1015 and it was the exhaust valve servo which was fried.

As mentioned earlier in this thread put the bike in dealer mode to get the error code(s).

Hi,

For the neutral light, can be the gear sensor be the issue?

For the ABS, i check the sensors, they are fine no issues.

For the FI, can i just buy the servo eliminator?
Before that i will try to put the bike in dealer mood.

Thanks!
The fi light dorsn't automatically mean the servo is bad. Also, the eliminator just bypasses ot. You still should remove the actual unit itself.
Dealer mode is the best starting point.

You do know the ABS light only goes out after riding for a few metres/feet , some have not known that.

How is the battery and the cables, a low voltage will throw up many problems.

On my 2014 the FI was the exhaust flapper, the cables were out of adjustment, dealer mode should tell the story

When you don't get a neutral light what is displayed where the gear position number should be ?
For the dealer mode, have a look at reply #2 of '14 DL 1000 Dealer Mode

Since there is more than one warning light on the display at the same time, I would suspect something along the lines of the discussion in Engine has massive hiccups! or Suzuki V-Strom 1000 Recalled for Three Separate Electrical Issues - Motorcycle.com News It is strange at a number of warning lights suddenly activate at the same time or is there more info that you can share?

Do you have a wiring diagram for your model to help identify the color wire from the conectors?

Hi,

Yes i know that after 5km/h the abs light will be off, unfortunately for me the ABS stays on. I tried to switch off and on again the ABS light still there.

For FI will put the bike to dealer mood.

As for the neutral light, the display didnt show any number or letter it just blank with no N green light. You can refer to the photo.
Watch Motor vehicle Gauge Speedometer Vehicle

There's no N indicator while it's actually in N

Thanks

Hi,

Thank you for the input will read through the links given. And yes it is strange, i bought this used bike like a month ago.

I dont have the wiring diagram for this model.

Thanks
If there is no neural light there should be a - in the gear position box.

Scroll through the menu and bring up the voltage display, see what you get before & after cranking.

Check the plug on the back of the dash.

You could have a bad ground or connection in the bike

Hi, sometimes it have - sign, but moat of the time dont have any indicator the voltage is normal. Will try to replug the dash then.
Thanks
It appears that there may be a wiring diagram posted in reply #6 of What are these wire connectors? Perhaps someone with a L4 Dl1000 can confirm if this is the correct drawing?

On my DL1050 when I had the same neutral light issue it was say I was in first or second gear when I was in Neutral.

The shop thought they might be able to just clean the sensor but evidently it was one unit so couldn't clean anything. I don't know if the 2014+DL1000 has the exact same sensor. In my case A new gear sensor fixed the problem.
