Default Engine light on after burnout
So today I did a small burnout when I got home and just now noticed When I start it my engine light is on? Does anyone have any idea why this could be ?

Check the error codes. Google will tell you how to check, if you don't know already. My guess is P0522 and P0523.

Doing stupid **** sometimes gives unexpected consequences. Hope it's nothing serious and you resolve the issue.

If the OP is asking that question, I'd say it's pretty unlikely he knows how to check for codes. So:

Why would he get a oil pressure switch high or low code from doing a burnout?

2020LowRiderS are you sure it isn't your ABS light that is on? The back wheel spinning while the front isn't will turn that light on.

Because that is probably the most common faulty code... Just a guess.

He said the light was on when he started the bike. Assuming that was after the wheel spin so its probably wouldn't be an ABS warning, right?

I have had mine stay on for a few ignition cycles on my Road Glide before. Haven't done many burnouts on the LRS yet though.
