my 2014 LC showed a warning last night with a yellow triangle and the letters ESA! On the dash. I stopped as the front forks felt very dead, and after stopping they were locked solid and I couldn't push the front down on the suspension. I tried several on/off switches and eventually the warning went off and the front forks felt normal again. Now I can't reproduce the problem, will the dealer be able to look up any fault code and find the problem, now it has disappeared. I'm off on a long trip soon and am worried about the fault coming on permanently during my trip. The preload adjustment was very slow to adjust the previous day, could be connected to that I suppose.

I don't have an LC but would be on the phone immediately if it was my bike. You can't be the first. also a call to Revs Racing (Wilbers) might help. I'll bet they've seen this sort of thing.
This happened once to me on my 2014, just a few days before my 600 mile service. Similar to you the issue seemed to just resolve itself, in my case while my bike sat stationary in my work car park.
The workshop were unable to find any issue and no fault code was logged. The problem hasn't occurred again and I'm now at 6000 miles. Will it happen again - I don't know - I'm not getting too hung up on it though given it was 5500 miles ago. Hopefully your experience will be similar to mine..

Mine did exactly the same yesterday too, fortunately I was only a short distance from home so I returned. I too had the Yellow triangle on the dash and GPS, normally touching any error symbol results in the GPS telling you what the error is. To my amusement touching it yesterday resulted in the GPS saying "This is a Yellow Triangle" 
no shit.
After leaving the bike for 10 minutes the error cleared its self, but the GPS kept asking if I wanted it to switch to car mode. Oh and the auxiliary lights turned themselves off too

I had this twice. No fault coded though which is rather dissappointing and surprising given all the technology and computing power in the bike.
Dealer checked fault code, it was same as those fixed by a s/w update which was then installed and hopefully the problem won't happen again.
It's beginning to sound more like a pc fault than a bike, got a problem, power off/on, still got a problem, reinstall the software or get a s/w update.
So s/w updated, shocks recalibrate and hopefully all OK.
Can't help but think this ESA is an over complication, that doesn't seem that dynamic to me
