Default warning Light??

This morning I noticed a red light in the tach guage bottom left that was on. anyone know what it comes on for? The emblem looks like a tach with an arrow pointing towards it on the top left of the emblem. I will check into it after work but my curiosity is wanting to know? I know how to check the codes and will just didn't have time this morning.

It is your cruise control light....Now would be a good time to get familiar with your owners manual...It has a wealth of information in it.

Yep thats what it is, ironically I thought I had gotten over the bright "red" light but for whatever reason it caught my eye this morning and just bugged me and I kept thinking I know what that is.....TGIF work has been a battle this week

Cruise light illuminates red when your switch is on...shut it off and goes dark.

Gotta remember, now that you're in the "Geezer Glide" club, need to read-up on all those fancy lights, switches and gauges on your 2-wheeled barka-lounger.

Your owners manual will also indicate how the cruise light will show that your 'parade mode' is on or off and how to activate and deactivate it.

Ok for all who have never forgotten anything in their lives especially regarding their bike and for the enjoyment of all who enjoy ribbing the guy who ask the question that he already knew the answer to but in the moment had a brain fart (member of the 50 and older club) and simply couldn't remember what the bright red light meant. I want you to grab a friend or coworker and read aloud as follows;

"We Todd Did, We Todd Did, I am Sofa King, We Todd Did"

And finally just remember I got the answer that I needed to make sure I wasn't having an issue and for that I appreciate the wealth and riches of information I have received and will undoubtly continue to receive as it appears it is my day on the hdforum hot seat. im a big boy I can take it and it would surely help Friday melt away.
