The warning light comes on if you try to start the bike with a flat battery
- - the ECU stores an error code saying that the power wasn't enough to start
the bike.  So you can take your battery out over winter, put it back in
fully charged and then start the bike and the ECU should be fine.  But if
you try to start with a flat battery, then charge the battery and get the
bike running, the light will be on.  I think you need to get the dealer to
reset it with the gameboy, it doesn't just disappear after three starts like
some other errors.
