Situation:
1. At startup check engine light illuminates and then goes off which is normal
2. When riding check engine light and sometimes security light illuminates and then goes off (happens frequently during riding)
3. I found and cleared codes, checked fluids but situation continues to happen.
Would appreciate any guidance/advice on whether this is a serious problem and if I need to take to dealer or if I can troubleshoot myself.
