I have a 08 nightster with a thundermax, stage 1 air cleaner, and a v&h exhaust. It's got about 300 miles on it and the engine light still comes on if I stay at a constant spend for more then 15 mins. I kept it slow for the first 50 miles or so and not terrible faster after that. Am I breaking it in right?

i don't think that the engine light should be coming on at all when riding.

i'd take a spin by the selling dealer and let them know it's doing this. \\; they'll read the code from the speedo and let you know what's up.

I have 730 miles on my 08 Nightster and have never had the check engine light come on once and I am running a Heavy Breather, Short Shots and a PC III USB. I would get it checked out.

You need to go into your basic settings and up the Engine Temp Threshold Alarm to about 350 degrees. \\; The sensor on our bikes is buried a lot further in to the head than most bikes so it reads higher. \\; It's probably set at 315-325 stock. \\; Try it and let me know if it fixed the problem. \\;
I've got about 2000 miles on my Nightster, and I have never seen the engine light come on. \\; You've got a brand new bike, have the dealer check it out for you.
I changed the basic setup like u said MJ and it helped alot! cleared the diagnositcs codes and uped the accel fuel and it runs like a beast! thanks man it fixed the annoying little problem
