You've got a short somewhere. Check your wiring for broken/chaffed sheathing

Check the feeds to the fuse box... just done a mod on an 1100 sidestand switch... and for a while had the brake lever turning on the ign light... only 1 flashing abs light, and no neutral light .. and the tacho not working

traced it back to the fuse one feed under the fuse board ... gave it a shove with long nosed pliers and everything seems well ...

May be a similar but simple thing with yours

Your battery/alternator light shouldn't be on when the engine is running.

Do the simplest thing first - check the alternator belt is in one piece. If it's shredded or snapped it may have caused some other wiring damage.

If it's ok and in one peice check the blue wire connection on the alternator, this often breaks and flaps around.
