Default 800 In The Cold

I have an '06 800 Max. With the temps in the single digits and below, I have been having my engine light come on. It goes out if I shut it down and restart. Also my display was lit up last night. Every light on the dash was on and I didn't even have the lights on. Any one else have this problem? I will take it into the dealer this week. It's still under warranty so he can deal with it. I'm also going to have the valves adjusted.
The good news is that is does always start even in these cold temps.

Also, has anyone had any problems with the ice build up around the rear cv joints? It is thawing out now as I don't want to take any chances.

How is the 800 in the snow and stuff?I know it is pretty darn cold around here and I don't even wanna go out riding jsut because of how cold it is...If you went into water and since its so cold the ice will most likely build up.

I went on a 40 mile ride this weekend and it was no warmer than 10 and as low as -3 with about 20 mph winds and I didn't have any problems at all avoided the mudholes that were ice anyway but man I love that EFI vs. having to warm the damn BF750 up it is such a cold blooded SOB.

We race on snow and ice a good bit, no problems below freezing.

My 06 outlander had a similar problem, the light would come on turn off and restart it would go away for a while.
Dealer replaced my dash pod and no problems since

It is going back to the dealer this week. I had an error code about 2 months ago, similar but not the same and it was related to wiring to the dash. This may solve.
