Posted February 13, 201510 yr Just imported a 1989 Yamaha TDR250. What is the red light on the bottom of the speedometer?
February 13, 201510 yr :Hi parsons it be the 2 stroke oil light, it will light in neutral[ bulb check] , and then only come on when oil tank is low, Member Cynic has experienced this
February 13, 201510 yr Author It has an oil light on the top of the instrument cluster that does exactly that, goes off when in gear. There is another red light at the bottom of the speedometer that occasionally comes on briefly, about 2 seconds. I downloaded a shop manual but it doesn't address the issue.
February 13, 201510 yr Moderator Is that if you go over 55mph?Why would it be? He imported it to USA so it would'nt have any 55mph warning?
February 13, 201510 yr Moderator be patient there's a couple of guys on here have one, just not been on yet
February 14, 201510 yr Moderator NO In japan a red light is fitted in the spedo that comes on at 55mph (their national speed limit). Straight swap for a uk spedo. Or if you can get your head round kph. Pull the bulb or it will drive you mad as its so bright. I swapped the spedo on mine.
