Hi mop head, not familiar with your specific bike, but is that light telling you to put some two stroke oil in the tank, ...I think so.

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!!

yeh the light is to tell me that i need to put some oil in the actual engine witch i have done and teh light has stayed on thats what i dont get ???????????????????????????

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.

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. :D:D:D:D
