So I have an SIL that went off.
Background:
I never messed with the clock, US/Metric or date settings. I fixed the clock and the date and switched to US settings (it adjusted everything). The date actually showed the year 2014. The bike IS a 2015 so it must have the old programming on it? Anyway, after doing this and riding a bit, the SIL tripped. I have not had my first service yet as I haven't hit 600 miles.
So, do I reset the system to clear the code (how btw?) or am I wrong in thinking that the system probably just recognizes that it has been 2 years (change from '14 to '16) since oil change? Were this any other motorcycle I've owned that didn't have idiot lights and computers tracking all of this stuff, I'd have reset and ridden to see if it went off again, but this bike is pricey and I'd hate to damage it by doing something foolish.
Thoughts anyone?

There is a mileage Service message and a time based service, so your service message is caused by you changing the clock from 2014 to 2016.
If you press and hold the Up and DOWN buttons until a service Menu appears (I think this can take 5sec or more ) I just did this 4weeks ago after I serviced my bike.
In that service menu you can adjust how many miles or time you want the service message to appear.
Hope that helps.

I just did this on my '16 1290 R and it was a little different than what I found online in other forums - maybe it's changed for '16? The instructions I found said you have to hold the up and down arrows when turning on the ignition but that doesn't work on my bike. You have to turn it on first, then hold the arrows.
Turn on the ignition and wait for the service reminder to display.
Hold down both up and down arrow buttons and the display will cycle through the various displays until it gets to the settings menu.
At that point, release and again push and hold both the up and down arrows.
A new display will appear that allows you to reset the number of months and/or kilometers until your next service.
Use the return key to end the programming mode.
