    Hi,
    I have had mudguards and side panel re-sprayed on my 2008 America. Obviously i had to disconnect rear light etc to send off to sprayers.
    Have had them returned and put back on, bike looks amazing but engine light stays on when i start it. The bike sounds good and idles fine, I have read that i need to do the 3 start cycle to reset light.
    Has anyone done this and do you think that it is something more serious.
    A very nervous Odgy:neutral:

    Yup, 3 starts cold to hot. Always the first thing to do if it stays on then start investigating.

    Hi guys just to let you know the engine management light has gone out, but i only took for one spin to get the engine hot. Is this ok as i thought it needed 3 hot to cold starts.
