Hi! If you added new parts, especially those affecting the exhaust, please get an ECU reset and see if it clears. Otherwise I suggest STOP using your bike and get it checked by any reputable service station if you do not believe the dealer. There might be a major problem and using it may make it worse.
Hope this helps! If it does, please click on the Accept Answer button. I will greatly appreciate it! :)
