If there are no codes then the ECM is not logging a fault event. Although there are no displayed codes I'd attempt to clear the register anyway. I'd also suspect that the rain had something to do with this, could be damp ingress to a connector(s) and the fault will disappear after a long ride on a hot day.

so i went to the local indy and they put their scanner on the bike and found that the spedo sensor wasnt picking up so i took it to the dealer to clear the codes since the spedo was working fine thats when they told me my ingnition switch was worn, the points are worn down so when i turn the switch it doesnt always contact at the right point and the lights will come on but not the spedo gauge hence the fault code so 35 dollars and a week later i will have the new ing switch and the rest
will be history
