What year is your bike? Does it have the button on the back of the speedo or a trip switch on the left hand controls?

1- Turn Ignition switch to OFF & Run/Stop switch is to Run.

2- Push odometer reset button in & hold. For 2014 & newer touring models this will be the toggle switch on the left control mount.

3- Turn ignition switch to Ignition and release the odometer reset button. Background lighting should illuminate, speedometer needle should sweep its full range and indicator lamps (battery, security, low fuel, check engine and cruise) should illuminate. The word "diag" should then appear.

Okay that is why you have an error. The CAN bus system is probably reporting the switches are not working.

There is only 4 wires involved which you must have damaged in some way.

With the bike off does the speedo display the miles if you press the button?

If you have a run switch that needs to be set to run before anything else. Press and hold the button on the left side handle bar and turn on the ignition.
again I ****ed up controls on the left handlebar....i was changing the risers today for the apebar....but I did not cut any wires....the right controls on the right handlebar work just fine....
what to do?
now I guess the engine light is on for some reason

Sorry about that. I deleted that as I read your problem.

The system is probably reporting an error has been detected with the left side handlebar module.

There is only 4 wires to it and maybe you damaged one or pulled the connector out.

Do you have a tuner device that can read DTCs?
