check engine and battary lights

RE: check engine and battary lights
My 06 883L did that last Sunday. I was riding, and it was fine, then I stopped, and when I restarted the bike, both the check engine light, and battery light came on. I shut the engine down, and restarted, then only the check engine light was on, but just for a few seconds.
After only about 3 miles, I stopped again, and when I restarted the check engine light came on, just for a few seconds. I continued, and rode about 50 miles home. No further occurances of the lights.
On Monday, I pulled the DTC, and the indication was battery - low voltage. So, I fully checked the battery with a multi-meter, it checked out fine, both cold and running. I cleared the DTC, and haven't had a problem since. After that on Tuesday, I went of a 350 mile ride, and another over 350 mile ride yesterday, plus the usual just around town stuff. I haven't had any further problems......go figure??
Does this sound like what is happening with your bike, or is the light remaining on for a longer period. Is it just when you start the bike, or while you are going down the road?
