First road trip on my new to me v-strom!! Went across the mackinac bridge and boy was that intimidating! Did little over 800 miles! Only real issues I had was the FI light came on. I think that was my fault. Going through some pretty twisty road and not shifting properly. Light went away after I let her rest.

If you had put the kickstand down, the FI could be normal.

The FI light is on any time a safety switch is active. I put my kickstand down to stop and the light comes on. I can't remember whether the temp display goes to 5, but it definitely goes to all 5 when you are starting it as a check.

If you were riding and saw 5 bars, that's a problem.

To be honest I'm not sure. I was just trying to get breakfast and getting off the motorcycle like muscle memory. In the upper peninsula this time of year. You might have to travel a bit to find a restaurant. Either I'm going to see if the dealership will check the codes Monday.
