Hi everybody,

I had a run today (first run ever with this bike Smile ), everything was fine but i noticed that the warning red light was always on for the first minutes riding; i thought it was for "cold engine" but it did it also after a quick stop for refueling.

I searched in download section something about troubleshooting for warning light on but I didn't find anything.

Thanks, regards

Hi Biagio

Most likely the brake light circuit warning light.

This will stay on until you have turned on the brake light at least one time for each brake light circuit.

Just tap each brake as you set off and it should go out.

Its warning light which switch off with brake lever pressed. If not something is wrong with bulbs. Last time on my bike tail bulb was broken and red didnt switch off with brake

Its a system that checks the bulbs in the rear light.
You have to use both front and back brake for it to check the brake light bulb.
If the light stays on after both brakes have been used then there is a fault in that system, if the light goes out and stays out then the system is OK
