Getting O2 error code - P0131 - 2019 Spyder RTL

[bushjc]

I went on a short ride this past weekend and got a P0131 error code on my Spyder. I did not feel any change in how the bike was running. Now for the back story...

The bike sat through the winter with about a half a tank of gas. About 3 weeks ago, I drove the bike about 10 miles and filled up the tank with Premium - 93.

Before I rode it Saturday, when it gave the code, I had just completed washing the bike. I had been riding about 20 mins before the code came up.

Also, the bike has less than 7000 miles on it. Seems like an O2 sensor should last longer than that.

Could water be the issue causing the sensor to malfunction?

I thought about disconnecting the battery to reset the code, then adding a bottle of Sea Foam and driving out the tank.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks!

So, I am trying to make heads or tails to your post! Your bike threw a code, and it went away? It runs great as it should?? And now you have no codes displayed? If that's the case, put a shot of Seafoam in it and stop doing small trips around the block, ride it like you stole it!! Chalk the whole thing to not riding it enough! Nonethanol gas is your friend if you can find it!!

No, the code is still there. I only indicated that the bike is running fine because I am not seeing any issues like rough idle, which I have read could be present with that code.

I am going to disconnect and reconnect the battery to see if that will clear the code.

The code may not reset without BUDS. The reason it happened, was most likely the bad gas! Good luck!
