The service light came on at 153K miles. I always have the service done, on time, every 6K so it is not due until 156K. What would cause that?

2016 R1200RT Service Light

Have you unhooked the battery recently?
Greetings: I have a 2015 and, after disconnecting the battery to add a pigtail, the service light came on. I posed the question on this forum and learned that it will do that and stay on until you reset the clock or put in the Navigator. The same thing happened when I replaced the battery. Hope it is as easy a fix as this!

So, on the Royal Enfield Himalayan to turn off service light...push mode button, hold, turn on ignition, keep holding till light goes out...
BMW: Buy 3-700$ GS911....and cables...or...schedule service at $100/hr and up.
Just sayin'
yesh yesh I know...they're different bikes, that's why I own both, But I had to comment, call me perverse.

The service light does not come on every 6,000 miles on the odometer. It comes on 6,000 miles after the last time the service light was reset. It will also come on one year after the last service.
To be exact the light comes on 10,000 kilometers or 6,214 miles after the light was reset.

Thx for all the help.
I reset my service light last June (2020), because Covid was keeping me off the road. I had only ridden about 2k miles since the 2019 service. My service light started to remind me of the 1 year anniversary of my last reset while on the way to Great Falls. On the way back, I went over the 6000 miles since last service, and the light came on and stayed on for the last two days of the return trip. At least it switched from bright yelllow (annoying) to a dark gray (easy to ignore while riding).
Bike is now in for the 30K service (at 31.5k miles). If I had remembered my cable/OBD reader, I would have reset the service reminder at the rally, using my MotoScan software.

Wow, that is some serious mileage! Can you mention what if any repairs you've had to do? Did you own the bike from new?

I don’t have that much milage at 73,000 miles on my 2016… but no manufacturing defects at this time.

My understanding of the lights is this:
Check Engine Light - triggered when anomalies are detected
Service Light - triggered on a mileage and time schedule, independent of anything else.
