Hello,
I’ve been reading the discussions within these forums for several years and I’ve finally decided to create an account after coming across an issue I can’t seem to resolve or find any information about.
Basically, I was chasing down a ticking sound on my 2008 FJR 1300 AE and ended up doing a valve clearance check. (All clearances were still within spec at over 83,000 miles).
After putting everything back together, I took it for a short ride and then started having issues with shifting and unresponsive from the shift levers and foot shifter.
I managed to get it into second gear and ride it home, then came to a stall stop since I couldn’t shift into neutral.
Now, when I turn the key, and try to shift, the shift light comes on with code SH__ 15 and I can’t shift gears.
The other day, I removed all the plastic from the bike including the front fairing and headlight. Out of cuirooristy I turned the key and tried to shift. Without issue, the bike shift from neutral and back to first gear as many times as I wanted.
I put the headlight back on, put the key in, and suddenly, NO shifting and the code SH__15 is back again. I take it off again, but the code persists this time.
Any ideas? Am I dealing with a short somewhere in the front fairing area? Dying battery? Anyone had an MCU die on them suddenly?
It is an energizer battery from 11/23, not very old.
Thank you everyone

- I’ve cleared the code in the diagnostic mode (using the jumper and accessing the YCCS diagnostics)
- It immediately returns upon trying to shift gears with either the foot or hand switch
- Charged the battery overnight, tried again with no success with shifting
- Read the code in the service manual and followed diagnostic procedure, checked the MCU and shift/clutch actuator motor couplers, no obvious sign of damage on any of the wiring
