Trip F-008 means you have run 8 miles since the low fuel light came on, this resets once you fill the tank. You can toggle the mode switch to see the other trip meters or odometer.
As far as EPS light staying on, in your pic the sled is not running, and the EPS symbol will come on and stay on briefly when the sled is first started. Other than that, if it stays on consistently, may want to check connectors to the EPS or a fuse.
Under certain conditions the EPS will disable itself such as when turning very slow or if having difficulty turning due to conditions, this is to protect the EPS drive system.

I have experienced the EPS not working for about 1 hour when first starting out on very cold days. Each time it was -10f or colder. By chance was it very cold when the EPS was inoperative?

It was cool out for sure but it was only minus 12 up here in Canada. But even In the garage running it still has just the light on.. It also has 28000 kms too lol is the eps the same parts on a Yamaha 4 wheeler if I need to replace a motor or something?? Prob have a better chance finding the eps parts of it then a newer ape lol I'll check fuse and see if it ok if not what would ya guys suggest replacing if I took it to dealer with the eps light on will they be able to tell what part is faulty or no??

When in doubt check ALL ground connections. Something could be corroded after all of that use.
