Default First issue

30 min ride, two up, 70F outside.

Crushing down hiway, radio drops out and reboots, engine light comes on. Oil is "OK", level is fine, bike runs fine.

Came home, turned it off, restarted, yellow engine light still on.

Ideas other can calling the dealer just before Christmas?.

Popped fuse maybe? It's probably something simple. I wouldn't stress and just let the dealer fix it.

Seek out your dealer. Whatever it is, is covered by warranty.

Best of luck and hope it's not anything serious.

Has the bike been washed recently by chance? Either way I'd bet it's anomaly, let the dealer see what they find.

Yep washed it earlier today, I cleared the codes and rode it this evening. Probably water issue. If it comes back I'll take her in.

that probably did it. it's a good thing you were able to clear the codes yourself. you running with FP3? I have the SE tuner for now just because of the said warranty issue it may bring if I changed to something else.. just being safe for now.. last bike had the FP3 from V&H and I was able to tweak maps as well as clear codes.. with the SE now I have to bring her in for them to do it.

let us know if anything else comes up.
