Right sorry onto the next fault ive found the neutral light doesnt work.tried changing the bulb with no luck.there is a blue wire that comes from the switch to a connector block near thw rad.that is reading 0.10 volts regardless of whether ignition is on or off it is also reading same voltage at bulb holder does this mean its the switch thanks

Its a dtr 125 2003 dont known model code though

Madrevs,,, your bike needs a good tidying, me-thinks

Sit on bike and start her up, neutral gear, put down the side stand, clutch in and select 1st gear,,,,,,, The bike should stall straight away,,,if it doesn't then the neutral switch down at the side stand is fooked or disconnected. If the bike does stall then your wires to the bulb are goosed up,,,,,,,,,,,, I cant help with wires or electrical thingieeeeeees

Code should be under the seat somewhere, if still there, take seat off for a look,,,, mine is just wrote on a sticker that's stuck to the frame.

If you disconnect the blue wire from the neutral switch near the front sprocket, turn the ignition on and touch the blue wire to the alloy engine case does the neutral light come on ? If it does it sounds like there is a problem with the neutral switch. If the light doesn't come on you have a problem with the wiring or bulb/bulb holder.

Thanks will try all the above it definetly needs tidying up its been used and abused for last 10 years by the looks of it but on the plus side it only owes me 400 quid.

Tried the above and when wire was earthed oil and netral light came on have ordered a new switch which will hopefully solve it

Fitted the new switch and all ok again is it normal for oil light to come with neutral light and go out whwn put in gear.

Yes its telling you the bulb works. Hardly effective as it goes.

Its an oil level warning bulb check, ignore it at your peril. I think it's rather a good idea

Go on jase " tell us again,,,

Always check the level once a week anyways and never get it below half way.at least I know what its for now
