Thanks a lot for the tips and sharing your problem. I managed to find a site called motorcycle info.co.uk and Andy the webmaster had 2 methods on the workaround.
The first was a direct fly cable to the battery - inherently not cool, but ok.
The second, which I had to use involved tapping into the sensor unit of the FPC thereby bypassing the FPC, this has worked like a dream; no issues with the fuel consumption actually!
We are planning to get one while on the trip. I have also heard that as in Maja's case, you can keep on riding!
Thanks for the replies!
Andrew
