Just before my bike went in for a major service as well as a sprocket and chain replacement the engine light that glows orange came on. It is still coming on after the major service - the bike's performance does not seem affected and the light comes and goes....should I be worried?

I think it's the oil pressure or oil level light.
Check the engine oil level.
The light on my thundercat would flicker on the twisties if the oil level was too low Embarassed

Thanks. It's not that. The bike was serviced and I had new oil & fluids added. The light is still coming on.

Means fuck all if they never added enough oil.

Check the oil yourself. Smile

Engine Trouble Warning Light?

What year is the bike, and does it flash up a 2 digit error code (depends on what year)?

Could be electrical circuit fault...

Oil is fine - it's the one next to the neutral light....when I turn on the bike - no code comes up - which is what's supposed to happen!

It's definitely not the oil light - it's the engine light that glows orange...

It should flash an error code where the clock is when the light is on. Find that code and should be able to narrow it down.
