OK, looked up the info. For the codes that will allow the MIL to go out, 
most take 3 no-fault warm up cycles. A no-fault warm up cycle is defined as 
1) the coolant temp must reach 72 degrees Celsius 2) the coolant must have 
risen 23 degrees Celsius when 72 degrees was reached 3) a controlled 
power-down sequence must take place and 4) the same error must not reoccur.

Basically what that means is that you can't sit there and switch it on and 
off and you have to let it cool - three separate days of riding should 
cause the light to go out. The error code will remain in the system for 40 
no-fault cycles

Hope that helps
