Default CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

I have an "08 Ultra Classic and am going in for the 5000 mile check up. I noticed yesterday afternoon after riding home, the check engine light came on. This is the first time this has happened, and this morninmg after about a 3 or 4 minute ride to work it came on again. I've had no problems and bike running fine. Will get them to check it, but was wondering af anyone had any idea of causes or had the same thing happen. I know it could be any number of things, but was just curious.

The&nbsp\\;spark plug wire to the coil&nbsp\\;was loose on mine. Don't know for sure but the stealer may say if it doesn't stay on there is nothing to worry about or "thats normal".
