Warning Light Blinking but no Error Codes Present

Hi all, I took my ski out the other day and noticed the warning light is blinking somewhat intermittently. The ski is running just fine and there doesn't seem to be any dip in performance. I pressed SET 5 times and there are no error codes. I also plugged it into BUDS and didn't find any faults in there either. For some reason the warning light is blinking but I don't know why. Anyone experience this before? Or any tips/tricks on how to stop it blinking. Note recently I had to change both oil pressure sensors. I topped up the oil and replaced the oil filter while I was at it.
 
Update: I noticed the battery voltage at idle is around 12V. I was expecting this to be higher at around 14V. So I isolated the rectifier from the battery and checked the output, it is about 15V and 5A. However when I connect it back up to the battery there is an immediate voltage drop back down to about 12.4V. When I isolatethe rectifier from the battery it immediately returns back to about 15V. I even connected the rectifier to a spare 12V battery I had (totally isolated from the ski) and same result - as soon as it is connected to the battery the V drops by about 3V. I'm not sure why the voltage drops when connected to the battery? Perhaps theres something up with the output from the magneto?
Also I took the ski out for a good test for about half an hour. Same thing again with the intermittent flashing light. The battery voltage at the end of the run was about 12.3V so I assume it's charging ok. Again no errors present in BUDs. So after all that I'm none the wiser as to why this light is blinking! Anyone else have this problem before??
 
12.3 volts is only 50% state of charge for a 12v sealed lead acid battery, take your battery out of the ski and have it load tested at a battery store.
