Airsurf, it's not the carbon that would have tripped the light, more likely the flat battery.
I've had mine come on a few times, but don't worry about the three times starting sequence. I just check my oil and coolant is correct, and that the bike feels right when it's running and then ride it normally. If the light fails to go out after the third time you start it, then take it to the dealer to check the error codes. You'll find that they shouldn't charge you to hook up the gameboy, unless they're gougers. It will tell you what the fault code was.
