V85TT Alarm Service explained

The “alarm service” icon that pops up on the v85tt can be due to a myriad of issues like, low oil level, overheating, and spark failure. But it could also simply be due to an apparent program within the computer of the bike that monitors engine performance in order to determine engine oil quality, and notify you to do your next service early. I would assume it could be triggered simply by running an aftermarket exhaust, or any other mods that may affect engine behavior.

I know others have had this Icon appear, but I could t find any info on why it would appear when the bike seems to run fine. And many others agreed that the manuals were devoid of any help. Even dealers could clear the code temporarily, but not provide answers to why it happened. But I found some “fine” print that pretty much explains it. Pictured.

I had this light appear on my bike intermittently for an extended period of time, but I never had any issues with how the bike ran. I recently put the stock exhaust back on, and replaced the air filter, as well as the spark plugs, and I haven’t seen the code in the last 8000miles.

Hope this helps!

I noticed that it's in the "off-road" mode.....wondering if the indicated 75mph speed in that mode would cause the "alarm"?
