John,

Did you have any problems on the long run?  If not, then when you cleaned it 
did you take off the body panels, gas tank, etc. for a thorough cleaning, or 
was it just an 'external wash/clean'?.   If you took it apart (esp. gas tank 
off), then I'd make sure to re-check all of the electrical connections. 
Also check to see that there is no build up on the battery leads (thick 
paste of water and baking soda will clean it up right away).  Make sure to 
check all of your fuses.  You may want to also consider disconnecting the 
battery altogether and then reconnecting.  This may reset the ECU.  If this 
works you may get your engine light 'on', but I found that after several 
cycles of riding the bike, turning it off and on, that this light will also 
go away.   The other possibility is to go to an Auto Zone.  They will plug 
their computer into your bike and you will get a readout.  Although they 
won't understand the codes, you could then call a Triumph dealer and give 
them the trouble shooting codes and give you an answer.

Hope that helps.

Lance La Certe, Psy.D.
