Warnng Light Staying On

Greetings all,
Today (miracle!) no rain and dry roads quite warm so the plan was to take the America out for a ride. Wrong! 100 metres from the garage and the engine warning light stays on. Back to base check oil level (full), fuses all fine, loose wires none, engine sounds fine and pulled as normal, the bike hasn't gone in to limp home mode so where do we go from here?
Bike is a 2016 America and 2,300 miles has been sorned from November until March, on a trickle charger, started regularly but not ridden during this period. Only things altered from collecting the bike last year are the fitting of genuine engine bars, Oxford heated grips and the Scotoiler. I rang the supplying dealer and they were very helpful but,obviously, no service dept open on a sunday, they suggest the 3 cold start to normal temperature routine which we will do as they reckon this will re set everything after the lay up. As the bike didn't go into limp home mode they say its probably just a sensor but not wanting to wreck anything I thought it best to not ride the bike.
Has anyone out there had similar problems after laying up the bike? Help and advise needed its out of Triumph warranty in 6 weeks.
Cheers, Pete.

 

Thanks for the replies guys much appreciated. As I don't keep the bike at home my mate is going to do the 2nd and 3rd cold to hot start ups then tomorrow I'll go down and try it out. I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks again, cheers Pete

 

Yo Dill,
Yes we did disconnect the battery as we fitted a charge lead at the same time, hopefully that's the answer. Isn't it a pain in the arse that just by disconnecting the battery could cause this problem.

 

Thanks Dill,
Being an ex two stroke racer you can become paranoid about engines and warning lights.
Cheers, Pete.

Yo everyone who replied,
Thank you all for your very much appreciated advice. The good news is that after doing the 3 cold to hot run sessions the warning light has gone off praise the Lord!
I spoke to Bill Smiths in Chester and asked this question- if you disconnect the battery for any reason would this result in the engine warning light staying on? response- we've never had that problem but we have cycled the ignition on/off for around 12 times to sort this. My cynical ex Prison Officer nature tells me that this was sort of elusive but maybe that's me. Moving on.
My mate John Mclements owns Orrell Park Motorcycles and is without doubt the only motorbike shop person that I would trust completely re bike info. So we went to see John (the bike was now fine no warning light on) first thing he asked was have you disconnected the battery at any time? told him about fitting the heated grips he said that's it you have broken the circuit to the ECU although all you have done is disconnect the battery which means cold hot cycle x3 to stop the light staying on. It would seem that Triumph are onto a winner "Oh bring it in sir and we will put it on the diagnostics and check the fault" 30/40 seconds later £40 thank you very much!
Lesson learned and thanks once again guys.
Cheers, Pete.

 

Yo BS,
Check out the acoustic version from "Hell freezes over" absolutely brilliant guitars!
Can you give me some more info on the bits you bought bearing in mind that I am a complete dinosaur with pc's and the internet etc. Thanks again people.
Cheers, Pete.

 

Thanks guys,
Food for thought, will do. Got to go now it's time to feed the Velociraptors.
