Tim,

First about the engine light. You need to let the computer go thru 3
complete running cycles first to clear the light. A complete cycle is
starting the engine, riding till it warms and then allowing to completely
cool at shut down. After the 3rd cycle the light should go out.

As far as the dead battery goes, did you leave something on or do you have a
Triumph alarm installed and activated? The alarm has been know to drain
batteries in as little as a week.
