#5it's usually an indicator of a battery fault, or charging problem.
When did it come up? I had it once after my bike failed to start due to a weak battery

#7Easily fixed by putting some Viagra in the tank, although that tends to mean that the bike stands up a lot (at least that's what I told the officer).

#8Did your clock and trip reset to zero?
Mine has done it a couple of times when starting and there seems to be some sort of failure. It was OK afterwards.
It also did it when I had a faulty regulator/rectifier but that also blew the headlight bulb then the bike wouldn't run.
