Error codes

Yesterday I hit this really bad pile of highway department screw-up. aside from the fact that I'm grateful to be alive, I now have an error code. The incident caused my headlight to blow out, but the error code didn't come on until this morning. Everything seems to be running well, but the flashers flash when I start the bike, and the red key indicator light is staying on. I'm pretty sure that means I have an error. Any suggestions on reading and figuring out the code? I'd like to wait until I get home to deal with it, but I won't feel comfortable until I know what it is.

Thanks Ken. That's kind of what was going on. It's fixed now. I was thinking back to when my speedometer sensor wasn't working, and it was doing the same thing. I never figured out anything with codes, but once the speedometer was fixed, it went away. So when this happened, I figured there was something funky going on.

Because I was going by a dealership in Kalispell, I stopped and asked them if they could just figure out what it was. The first guy I spoke with was a real jerk. I told him that when I turned the ignition on, the flashers would flash and then the key would light up and that I thought there were error codes. He kept acting like I was the biggest idiot on Earth and that I was turning on the alarm. I told him I hadn't turned the alarm on in about 7 or 8 years, besides which, the bike was starting. He asked where the fob was, and I told him in Colorado. Thankfully the young kid next to him asked what year it was ('01 carbureted, btw), and he told the guy that's how you know there's an error. The kid took it back and half an hour later it was back fixed.

Stupid on my part, because I should have checked, but usually when the turn signals go out, the indicators blink rapidly. But that's what it was. The bump knocked out on of the rear turn signals too.

So all good!

By the way, Glacier National Park is incredible. I can't believe more people don't come here. It makes Beartooth Pass look like the Cross-Bronx Expressway.
