Default Switchback Warning light Question
I have a red warning light near the center of the speedometer which is coming on intermittently. I don't have a owners manual and am wondering what it is. Any help would be appreciated.

Default Problem Solved
After more research including info from another thread on the forum, the light is for the security system (bike does not have that option). The reason for it coming on was a faulty front brake light switch, which sometimes was sticking in the on position.
