DWA message on digital display?

[alex_rsa]

Hi,

I am getting what looks like a battery warning (it looks like a AAA battery that is half full) on the digital display when the bike is running through the diagnostics before starting the engine. Next to the battery it says "D.W.A". The warning does not stay when the bike is running but appears as it cycles through all the bulbs/brakes etc.

Does anone know what it means?

For reference I replaced the main battery a few weeks ago with a Bosch replacement which is working fine and a blown main light bulb whcih will be replaced tonight.

Cheers

Alex

It's the batteries in your alarm.
It's all in here.
