Scott,
The computer gets reset after three warm up and cool down cycles. Most
likely the light will go out after that. At least it did for me

Subject: [ST] Engine Light
 
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!
