    You might try walking away from the bike for 10 minutes or so and take the key with you so that the computer can reset. All my advice comes with a money back guarantee.

    Just sitting too long? At the end of it's life ? Loose or corroded cables ? Do you have a battery tender ? If not you should get one, to keep the battery fully charged at all times. It will also extend the life of your battery. Like joe said, take the key out and walk away for a bit. Hopefully it will reset.
    it was fun while it lasted.

    Someone (DH) told me they would put battery tender on & didn't. But after two days of charging it is charged up now. I tryed walking away with the key for about 30 min. & that did not work. Any other thoughts?

    I figured out how to check codes & look them up. What came up was somethinking about brakes. So my husband told me to take parking brake off & pump the brakes. That took care of the problem. Thanks guys for the help.

    are you starting her up and running the engine..?? Check your oil level if this is the case. If you are only turning on the ignition it may come on till you start it and run it a bit.
