My red warning light stays on for about 3 or 4 minutes before going off. I have activated both brakes, and it stays on. Is this a warning warning light?

So what you are saying is that you start your bike, apply the front and rear brakes, light still stays on but turns itself of after you start riding down a road a bit?

Check the bulbs for the rear brake and also the tail light. Clean them as well as their sockets. Now recheck the warning light.
Fixed? Sometimes what appears to be a working bulb will still make the warning light come on.

If that doesn't work, check the front brake switch and rear brake switch. Check for continuity.
They may just need a good clean.

I gave up on mine as it was like an Irish indicator so disabled it and am much happier.

I check everything works before I ride and that is a damn site more than I do with the car.

For your year bike, it only relates to the brake/tail lights.

On later models, it is part of the checking system for the ABS set-up as well.

I have also seen somewhere how you can disable the BMU (bulb monitoring unit) if you so desire.

Not sure if it is the best method but it is simply a method of bending (re-forming) one of the pins on the bulb monitoring unit so it misses the appropriate socket, and I would have to double-check the circuit diagram as to which one. One less thing to worry about.

Jeez, the way I go on about the DeoxIT stuff, I hope it works!

I also agree with Phil. I had a BMU type device on my XS750 Yamaha.
None of my other bikes had it and even though my RS has it, I check my brake light's reflection on a car behind me if I'm waiting at a set of traffic lights. Been doing it that way for years.

If it ends up being the BMU, it may be costly to replace.

The Bulb Monitoring Unit checks both lights: stop light and tail light.
