Default P code 562

So I'm out this weekend and just before I leave to head home I start my bike and notice the check engine and battery light come on. After a few seconds it went off. So I ride home and all runs good. So I check the codes and I get p562 which is low battery voltage. The battery is one year old and on tender all winter. It turns the engine strong. So possibly voltagage regulator? Just a fluke? The check engine light still will come on for a few seconds but the battery light doesn't.

I'd remove the battery ground at the motor, clean both surfaces and put dielectric grease on it and reconnect, don't just look at it, this is a common problem spot.
Also the 2006/2007's are prone to corrosion in the fuse box including the two black square relays that can cause all sorts of problems, a good inspection/cleaning there may be needed too.

Ok. Thanks for the input. I had planned on cleaning ground but didn't know about the fuse box problem
