Default Security system light stays on

After rewiring the upper part of my apes, I noticed the red key light was on. As I rewired I would check to make sure the bike would start. I don't have a key FOB and was unaware of any security system. How can I clear this damn light?!

If you don't have a key FOB, then why do you think you have security?

That key light will also come on when it detects an electrical fault.

Probably triggered some error codes by turning ignition on while assembling bars/wireing. Clear the codes and light should go off.

I do have a key FOB...I'm now leaning towards voltage regulator. As I said earlier, "voltage while running is peaking at 16.6". The radio ***** down and security light comes on around 16.4 and at 15.9 the light goes out and radio powers back up.

Sorry wrong thread

Check your fault codes before you start chasing ghost.
Steady light means you have a code.
