Still trying to figure out how to read the code. Going to try the fuelmoto steps someone posted earlier after work.
Some of you are acting like a code is the end of the world. By the time I noticed, the dealership was closed. On a Saturday. I'm pretty sure they'll get it figured out.
As for the 107 vs 114 debate, I'm not too worried about it. The bike runs great as is, I saved some coin and at the end of the day it's a Heritage Classic. Not going to be getting into any drag races.

"Check engine" light is not the same as throwing a code. Code usually gives a security light. "Check engine" could mean the prep tech didn't put oil in...I'm just recommending caution assuming why the light is on. I've never gotten either codes or engine light from slip-ons. Something else is likely up from my guess. Hopefully it's something simple. New bike so I'm all for the dealer un-screw whatever they screwed up.

Well crap. I thought check engine light was indicative of a code.

Not quite. The check engine light comes on for emission control faults, diagnostic communication errors, or sensor issues. The slip-ons would not cause this. Low oil would not cause this. We can agree that caution should be exercised until it is properly diagnosed. Something is probably disconnected or has a poor connection somewhere. Likely some sort of assembly error.

To read the code hold that tripmeter button and turn on the ignition. Then you can press the same tripmeter button and use the left or right turn signal button to get into that menu
