changed battery...engine light on??

[Alan Spears]

I changed the battery on my 02 and now the engine light stays on. Any suggestions?

If you  tried starting it with the old battery it is more than likely a low starter relay fault as thats what showed up when my battery failed last week & put the new 1 on I just re set it with tune ecu & away it went no further problem

new to tiger what is  tune ecu ?

[Mustang]

it'll go off by itself after a few heat cycles .

just ride it as normal you will see it go off after a few rides :D  :D

+1 for Mustang.
Simply swapping out the battery will generate a 'Fault' condition (engine light on), and if there's no persistent fault it'll disappear after the 3 cycles.

But from your other thread looks like you've also got a fault in the charging system.

[Alan Spears]

what determines a "cycle"

[Mustang]

ride it for 10 , 20 minutes ........3 times

but if your charging is screwed up the light may not go out ,
starting to smell like you have the typical Girly bike charging syndrome .

Magic 8 Ball says ,"Stator / and regulator / rectifier is probably in your immediate future ."

if the light doesn,t go out after three rides you are going to need tune ecu or a OBDII code reader to find out what code is throwing the light on .

and if electrickery is over your head it's time to start getting friendly with a local dealer that knows what they are doing
