FI light came on today

My first ride since New Years Day. :icon_surprised:

I put on my mesh gear, black pants, and Bright red mesh jacket.

I figured I would see if that old bike was still in front of that bar.

10:00, clear skys, and after about 50miles my FI light starts to flicker. Not just on and off, but bright and dim.

Never had problems before, but this concerns me. I finally had enough and turned west to go home.

The light goes out instantly. I ride about 15 miles, with no problems , so I decide to head east again and find that bike.

Now the light comes on again. WTF? Finally the light came on in my pea brain.

I stick my hand over the glare screen and the light goes out. :icon_redface:

That Damn bright red jacket is reflecting straight into the lamp, making it look like it was on. :icon_wall:

Bet that was the easiest fix for a FI light failure ever. :icon_duh:

Amazing what reflections can do :icon_surprised: When I first got my 98 XX a couple of times riding away from bright sunlight I could have sworn my low fuel light was on but when I covered the sun it was just the reflection from the diode making it look red :icon_redface:
