Your bike may not start until you do this!

You may need to reset the computer on your bike. I don't know if this applies to you because I don't know ifthe motor needs to berunning. After returning to the dealership from a short ride on my 15 minute old bike. I was looking for the jiffy stand andleaned overtoo far...... I let the bike down gently nearly ripping my left hand off. ( don't know if I'll do that again) luckily, no damage was done ( to the bike) and I stood it back up. My salesman showed me the word "Tip" appeared in the odometer. Apparently, the bike knows it was dropped!To reset it he turned the on/off switch on-off-on and the window cleared.
What I like about this forum is you learn something new almost every day.Thanks for sharing that with us.
Same here, after being under the impression I knew the bike inside and out. Didn't know this tidbit, though.
