Default Red light on the dashboard what does this mean?

I noticed today this red light is now on constantly without blinking when i am riding my bike so what does this solid red light mean?

I have not noticed it before until after the stage 5 upgrade !



I checked my gopro the lights weren't on before but after i went shopping the lights are now solid ... i wont get to test it again for another 3 hours because my parents are asleep

Do you have a security system?? I believe that's the light for it and should blink when armed...

It's on when i was driving maybe someone sat on my bike while i was shopping i went through my gopro videos the light wasn't on - it only came on after i came out of the shopping center.

I've caught a few idiots sitting on my bike taking selfies it's not funny anymore !

I got a feeling these are the guys that sat on my bike !

My service manual for a similar model speedo, under trouble shooting, for security system indicator light problems: "Stays on solid with ignition switch on", it reads "If solid for more than 4 seconds after ignition is turned to ignition, a current DTC is present." So I would check the diagnostic codes....

Does that mean some thing is wrong with my bike?

Does it mean someone tried to steal my bike?

You need to check the code, then go from there, you can Google how to check the codes, and the problems they indicate....Or, since it's under warranty, take it to the dealer.
