The warning light on the left

The one which looks like an engine with a propeller on the front.

It flickered on this morning for a second or two then for the next mile throttle response low down was a bit sticky and the bike was backfiring badly on a downchange.

If it's like my VW it'll be the O2 sensor, the VW handbook says stop driving immediately when this happens, the dealer says it'll be fine.

What does it mean for a Tiger ? And what are the possible reasons ?

Spent several hundred miles in the pouring rain over the weekend, so wouldn't be too surprised if this is the thing that plugs into the downpipes and has got a little dirty.

Then again I've had a permanently lit low fuel light, coupled with a high reading fuel gauge for months which the dealer has suggested could be a corroded ECU.

One answer's a squirt of WD40, the other's £150 from Triumph Ant.

Suggestions ?
