Default check engine light on a 2008 road king

when I start my road king the check engine light comes on for about 9 seconds, then goes out. The check engine light came on during my last ride, turned the engine off restarted light went out.Is there any one that can help me retrieve the codes.

Start here and post the code once you retrieve it.

You have a historic code, meaning whateve happened was a single event, not a constant issue.

Clear it and see if it returns.
