Engine light flashes 10 times - 2008 Yamaha YZF-R125

have it scanned for trouble code

Check the code first!!!

Are you sure is not 5 flashes with a short pause in between and then 5 more flashes? Code 55 indicates the end if the diagnosis.

To review - the factory VATS security system will not let the engine crank or start if the wrong key is used or there is a problem with the system.
So if the engine was cranking the security system was not at fault.
You may have to get a used shop manual to get the testing procedures for a no start-stall problem.

does it have coil packs? you may need to replace one

Run scanner and computer for test can be MIL see the diagram

You have to count the number of flashes between delays. For example, the light flashes twice, pauses briefly, then flashes 4 times. This problem code is 24. The end of the trouble code is 55, which is 10 flashes so you have at least 2 trouble codes on your vehicle.

i would disconnect the battery terminals for 2 min then reconnect see if its fixed

11= Timing belt skipped 1 tooth or more from initial learned value, Intermittent loss of either camshaft or crankshaft position sensor, No crank reference signal detected during engine cranking for dodge odb readout. Hope this helps.

what your check engine light is doing is called the key dance.

The "Key Dance" is a coined term to identify a process of reading MIL fault codes stored by your cars engine computer (PCM). You cycle your ignition key from off to on (not start) 3 times leaving it on. You then count the number of times the Service Engine Soon light flashes. This combination of flashes identifies a fault code. For example, a code 21 would be flash, flash, pause, flash. All codes are 2 digits. Multiple codes are seperated by longer pauses. It should end with a code 55 indicating the process is finished.

Sometimes in newer models, the code is shown on the trip odometer. They would be P codes.

I would pull out my obd code reader and find out what it's telling me. Some parts places (Autozone, O'Reilys, etc) would even have a code reader you could borrow to check for any obd codes.
