Engine light?
I haven't noticed this before, but today I started my bike, and the little engine looking light came on for like 5 to 10 seconds and then went off. It does this every time I start the bike now. After it is started, it isn't on, then it comes on and then goes off after 5 to 10 seconds. is this normal and I just haven't ever noticed it or is this a code telling me something? Oil levels are fine and bike runs great. I just noticed it after I had rode in the rain for 3 hours straight! :-(

That is an understatement. Severe Storms on the way home as soon as I hit I-40 and it never let up. It sucked. [:@]
Any, thought maybe I just never saw the light before, but it is throwing me off because when I turn on the ignition, the fuel pump kicks in and the tach/speedo calibrate along with the engine light going on and then off. Then when I hit the starter and start the bike, after the bike starts it then comes on again for 5 to 10 seconds and goes off. I don't remember it doing it after the bike started before, just always before when the speedo/tach and fuel pump kicked on.
Hmmmmmmmmm.

Hey Ted, Assuming you don't have a rain soaked switch or something, you set a code,try this proceedure to the "T" and it will tell what is wrong, it could be something as simple as a bad start. https://www.hdforums.com/m_64805/tm.htm
