Indicator Warning Light (yellow, triangle !) 2016 R1200RT

[w_quinn@msn.com]

I just completed a 12K service on my 2016 R1200RT with 36,000 miles. I reset the service interval and checked for faults with a GS-911 Diagnostic tool. During the reset process everything functioned correctly.
When I started the engine the Indicator Warning Light came on along with the Front Light Failure symbol appearing on the display. All lights are functioning correctly and the GS-911 is not showing any faults. Hence, there is no code to clear on the GS-911.
I replaced a burned out low beam about six months ago. Everything has been normal until now.
Has anyone else experienced a false bulb failure that kicked on the Indicator Warning/Front Light Failure?
If so, how should I go about clearing the warning light and symbol?

Go for a nice short ride in a safe area or connect a trickle charger. Doing service tasks with the GS-911 requires ignition to be on for quite some time, and the battery can get pulled down a bit—especially if it’s not fresh. That can cause some issues with the electronics at startup. If the light persists, then it’s time to check lighting and bulbs.

Try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes.

Have had that happen a few times on my 2018 RT-P. Every time I just rode and it went out pretty quickly.

Make sure the little parking light is working.

I'm not sure by what you mean "the little parking light".

Probably referring to the small bulb inside the headlight housing on a lot of the bikes. Frequently a 194 bulb.

Yes, it's easy to not notice it on some bikes.
Looks like the 2016 has two of them. #7 in the picture.

Thanks for the response.
I did have a BMW Canbus charger connected while running the GS-911, but apparently the charger wasn't sufficient to keep the voltage up with the ignition in the "ON" position.
I let the Canbus charger do its thing for a couple of days. Unfortunately, the weather here in the CO mountains preclude going out for a ride.
I fired the bike up today and everything is golden!
