I’ve read it’s a “check engine light”, but without much real support to tell me the functional purpose. Does it indicate a fault stored? Or does it indicate an active mechanical issue like an oil pressure light for example? My 8600 mile XB12R has flashed it at me randomly a couple times and I’m curious where I need to be pointed diagnostically speaking. Thanks guys!

Edit: I’m a technician by trade. I understand how it all works. I took the photo with the bike not running because I couldn’t catch it while riding.

Second, my word choice in “flashed” at me is also misleading. It has come on steady for a couple of minutes once then went out before I could get stopped, as well as come on and gone out within a couple seconds 2-3 times.
