Greetings, ST'ers. First, thanks to everyone who responded with tips about finding right side bodywork for my '02 ST. I still haven't found any, and have been emailing dealers and checking eBay daily. The stuff that's been on eBay has been pretty trashed, but I will keep up the fight! Any other help in this area would be greatly appreciated - thanks!
Now I have an issue with the engine light. The previous owner parked the bike since his accident in October '03. Then, before I took ownership of the bike, he jury rigged various batteries (he blew up the stock battery by putting it on a car charger) and cables to get it to start. I believe he even reversed polarity during one of his starting attempts. Since then, I've installed a new, correct battery, which works fine (and the engine runs just fine with no funny noises, etc.) - but the light remains on.
Is this most likely the computer correctly detecting a fault with electronics during all this battery nonsense and responding with a "check engine" light? How do I reset the computer so the light will extinguish?
Thanks, folks!
