It could just be something stupid like an emissions component. My light comes on about 150 miles after I get gas every time. I turn it off, and sure enough 150 miles after the next fill up, there it is again. All because my gas cap doesn't make the perfect seal.

It's easy enough to pull the code and find out what's going on. I think Advance Auto Parts still does a free computer check to see what's wrong for you. If not, there's enough shops out there that will pullt he codes for free in hopes they can sell you something to fix it.

yea thanks i went to auto zone today and it threw the O2 sensor code...so i guess i just have to get that replaced..

Just go get it pulled. Having us guess at codes isn't going to be productive.

BTW, you wont beat any 600 or greater bike, especially if you have people in your car. Either they didnt know they were racing you, or you tried to race some dude on a 70's GS400.
