Default Help please

I drive a 2023 street bob 114 and about 1500 miles on it. It's not even 6 months old. Engine light came on.Codes I'm getting on diagnosis is u0142, b2133. Look up the codes and I'm really not sure where to start to check for the issue. All started within a few days. What occurred 1st was my high beam sensor would say it's on after 1 second the indicator would shut off then but high beam would be on. Did it a few times but now the indicator stays on but I didn't do anything to fix it. My check engine light came on a few days later but it was weird. I drove home from work, put it in the garage for like 30 min. Got ready to leave again and when I lift the power switch nothing turned on for a good couple min. I checked my bag to see if I just didn't have my fob on me. I did so I sat on the bike this time and tried. The electric turned on , the bike started and when I started to drive to this girl's house the check engine came on. It's been on for a few days but it's my only vehicle so I get a little worried especially. Everything seems to run fine. I will note i live in Pennsylvania and this happened wile driving those few days that the city's were filled with the smoke from Canada forest fires( idk if that could be a culprit). Thanks for your input

Have a read https://www.fuelmotousa.com/p-29661-...ble-codes.html , and that smoke from Canada could be a real problem lol. Especially with High Beams.

Welcome to the forums from Ontario, Canada.

Take it to the dealer, that's what warranties are for.

Since it is under warranty, let the dealer fix the problem. Welcome from New York.

Yeah guys I had a real problem with my dealership and am never going back. I voided my warranty when I did my 1000 mile change because I AM NOT GOING BACK. If anybody can articulate any information that does not end with take to the dealer it would be appreciated. This is like my first harley and am use to working on my Vulcan. Thnx

You did not void your warranty by doing your own oil change.
if you are never going back than go to another one. They all do warranty work

Yeah this whole thread smells bad! Do you have a problem with your Kawasaki dealer too? Try them, seeing as there is only one HD Dealer in Pennsylvania….
PS Canada apologies for the smoke that’s clearly affecting your thought process!

Clearly bike didn’t approve of the girl. Dump the girl and codes should clear…
