Default XLC Idiot Lights
I bought my 2005 XLC 1200 used, and didn't get the owners manual. I can see the faint outline of idiot lights on the speedometer, but don't know what they are or mean. Can someone help me out.

Thanks

mmmmmmmmm...well I can tell ya the check engine light, which you probably already know about, and there is a battery light, which I happened to see earlier this week. If they light up, I think they're self expanatory.
