Unless you've got a known service history on it, recommend change all fluids and filters asap when you get it and probably plug leads too. Somewhere in the dim and distant past, I remember one of my 900s occasionally having a brake warning light come on. Brakes and fluid level ok. It went away when we changed the brake fluid and gave the cap and reservoir a very good clean. Mightn't be the same prob but worth a look. Cheers
