Normally to fix this you would install a Load resistor (thus tricking the computer into thinking you have a standard bulb) or installing an "error free" bulb with a built in LR. I call this process a "hardware" fix. I am trying to code out the errors using a "software" fix thus allowing me to use any 7507 bulb for the front and 7506 for the rear. If you have researched you will find many bulbs but very few with all the attributes to properly do the HW fix on the F25.
Thank you . wow ... this machine is much more sophisticated than my other rides
