    Guys,

    I picked up my stradale a couple of days ago and have driven it 300 miles since.. just a few minutes away from home the check engine light came on (or maybe thats when I noticed it)

    400 miles on delivery, 700 miles now, any idea on what could be wrong?

    Gas cap tight? Fill 'er up, and make sure it's nice & tight. In almpst all cars, CEL is usually triggered by emissions (O2 sensors, cats, gas cap) I doubt it's anything serious... but get it on an OBDII or SD2 to check. With a brand new CS, you better get top-notch service at any FNA dealership!

    300 miles in 3 days? Man, you'll give Brian a run for his money.

    U.D. - Next time your near the dealer, ask them to pull the code -- or at a very minimum, get it to an OBDII reader. The code will be stored in there for a little while. If it's a bad O2 sensor, the light will come back on eventually. On the other hand, if it's just the gas cap, it's no biggie.
