I think I had that code flash up when my 796 battery went awol a couple of years ago. New battery fitted and been fine ever since. Sorry can't remember the make I got. If you didn't have to dismantle half the bike I'd go and have a look for you.

Hi Vince, so the other Vince,aka Luddite recommended the

Motobatt MBT12 B4 for my S2R , bought and fitted last Saturday.If you are looking for a supplier try Tayna Batteries, great service and the cheapest I could find.

This is not an uncommon occurrence with the 696/796/1100 models so it's odd that there's no mention of the particular fault code in either the owner's or workshop manuals.

The 0005 r.SW (or sometimes 0008 r.SW) refers to a software reset and occurs when the battery voltage drops to a level that the ECU deems could cause it damage so it shuts down completely momentarily and resets all elements of the dash, (trip, ABS, TC and clock).

Assuming the battery is the cause, rather than another symptom, (of say, a dodgy regulator), then a Motobatt MBT12B4 is a good replacement. Mine's been on my Evo for over 4 years now without problems.
