That's your rev limiter going off! You can turn off the light and the beep. At a stop, press the Display button until you see something like B-####. Hold the display button to change it. Hold the Display button again to go through the numbers and tap the Display button to move to the next item. But search for Rev Limiter on Youtube or look in your manual for more details
