It turned out to be a pressure sensor switch which is a relief! Oil consumption and level was fine. Thank you to everyone for their support!

I have the bike booked in at my local repairer for inspection. The dealer unfortunately where I bought it new is in Milton Keynes and I had it courier delivered from them as I’m 2-3 hr away. I spoke to the dealer and they told me I would have to get it there at my expense due to my location or take it to a local repairer and they can liaise with the warranty company for any works that may need to be carried out. So, watch this space. Thank you to everyone who has supported my issues which has been really helpful!

Update! I found on line that you have to press a button ( bottom of LCD display panel) to clear the light by holding it down for 3 seconds for it to go out! I checked the oil level again today and it needed a small amount of oil that took the level up to the max from being 3/4 on the dip stick. Not much, but after topping up and clearing the oil level warning indicator light I ran the engine on idle to wait and see if the oil light came on again once the engine was warmed up after a couple of minutes. The engine sounds quiet and smooth and no unusual sounds, knocking or anything alarming? I revved it gently to 5,000 rpm a few times and the oil light has not come back on. I let the engine cool off and waited several minutes after and checked the oil level again and it was clean and golden with no evidence of swarf or any presence of anything other than clean oil and it was on the max level. So, I’m thinking that the oil level when the oil level warning light came on was at 3/4 full in the dip stick. Then, once I topped it up to the max mark the oil light needed to be reset for it to go out but I didn’t know you had to do this which I have now done. Does this make sense and sound right what has happened etc?

Hello everyone, I’m new here and hoping for a little assistance with the following issue on my new motorcycle. I have a Yamasaki YM 50 RE 4 stroke 50 cc. I bought it new at first registration for March 2020 to commute to and from work 14 miles per day. It’s fine for what I need and cheap commuting. However, I had the first service at 300 miles all good there. It’s done only 660 miles now from new. I look after it and keep everything checked weekly and all the fluid levels too etc. Yesterday the engine oil warning light came on whilst on my way to work and has remained on solid. No flashing just came on. When I got to work I checked the oil dip stick whilst the engine was still warm and the oil level on the dip stick was just under its max. I bought the correct grade and spec oil and put in a very small amount just to be sure. I checked the oil level and it was still on the max line. However, the oil light still remained on and I don’t know what else I’m missing to check? The engine sounds as normal, no smoke or anything irregular so can anyone with experience or knowledge of such issues help? I appreciate any constructive assistance you can offer? Kind regards to you all. Kent
