   Old2soon has a shop manual on that bike. May be faster to do online search.  I have heard of the issue , but have only worked on a couple 1800's.   Sorry I could not be much more help.

Thanks.....was hoping to find out where or if there is a plug-in feature to where you can get the fault code or are HONDA the only ones that have the-euipment to pull that info...

I seem to remember hearing that disconnecting the battery will clear or reset that code.  If the code returns, it may be an ECM problem.  If I recall I had this issue on my 1800 wing, but my memory isn't what it used to be.  Check youtube for a video on the issue.

Thanks for the reply's......had HONDA  do a download /systems check ......turns out it's a SENSOR that controls how and when the sequence of fuel and spark plug ignition is sequenced......a $450 part......

Unless you have the ability to download this info and get the code  you are at the mercy of HONDA......bottom line the bike is back on the road
