My 600 did this and it was a 20 amp relay that is located under the front cover in front of the light pod. I went to canadian tire and got another one. My lights would stay on for a while then shut down for about 5 minutes . Then come back on.The relay is in a black sealed bag looking thing. Mine was very hot when I left the lights on so I was able to figure out which one was shorting out.
Let me know if this works.

that might not work because the 500's don't have fuses and relays.

Is this an error code signal that the unit maybe giving ? Does the unit run fine otherwise ? Does owners manual give any trouble shooting tips ? Electrical is never any fun to diagnos

This has crossed my mine. Is the bike trying to tell me something? It runs great otherwise. I don't have an owners manuel. We have a dealership in town, maybe I should stop in there and see what they have to say.
Thanks,
