And if you have been topping up the gearbox oil make sure it is only half way in the window or it will be over full!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont get it either, its a rwo stroke motor, the warning lamp on these is usually to say put some two stroke oil in the oil tank behind the side panel. I didnt know they had a light to say put oil in the engine! seems a bit daft to me as its only there to lube the gearbox and doesnt actually get used up, Unlike the two stroke oil which does get used up. I suggest you read your owners manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin10529 Posted October 18, 2008 Share Posted October 18, 2008 Think you might have been toping up your gearbox like oldgit said. Only lights up for 2 - stroke mate, red light next to the green nutral light. Left hand side next to the back seat, take off the panel and top her up with the finest 2 - stroke you can afford. Its like crack rock for little bikes, the wee things just cant get enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
