i noticed today that when i go through the genral start procedure and start the bike the engine light stays on ? is that normal ? never noticed it before !!!
most harleys have a engine light on come before starting the engine, then it goes off ....
my Nightster, engine light comes on and then stays on .... rode for 4hrs today and engine light was on .... been like that as far as i can remember ....
When I got my nightster, the dealer told me that if I start the bike before the check engine light goes off, the engine will not have prepped properly. it will take 20 starts after that for it to reconfigure and until then it will remain on. Ask your dealer about that feature. I would still take it in just incase something is wrong, but I was told this has something to do withthe fuel injection. Hope this helps
