Just noticed a message on my dash saying OIL. I have just passed the first 600 Miles on my WR125X. Is this just a normal messasge to get my service done (which ive already booked for next week)?

I actually checked fluid levels a week ago and they were fine.

Check it now?
Oil level takes seconds to check.

Hi

Don't know the bike, and possible it is just a message based on mileage to tell you to service it. Also possible it is based on oil level or pressure, in which case running it without sorting the problem could do severe damage.

All the best

https://www.motorkari.cz/upload/files/manualy/3160_yamaha-wr125r-2010-u22be1.pdf

Page 20 explains it.

Quote:
This indicator flashes at the initial 1000
km (600 mi), then at 3000 km (1800
mi), and every 3000 km (1800 mi)
thereafter to indicate that the engine oil
should be changed.
After changing the engine oil, reset the
oil change indicator.
TIP
The oil change indicator can only be reset
when “OIL” flashes in the multifunction
display.
To reset the oil change indicator, select
it by pushing the “RESET/SELECT”
button briefly (less than one second),
and then pushing the button again for at
least five seconds. When the oil change
indicator stops flashing and stays on,
release the “RESET/SELECT” button
within three seconds; the indicator will
go off.
TIP
If the oil change indicator still flashes after
the reset procedure has been completed,
repeat the reset procedure.

I checked the oil level and it was fine. Then I just passed by the Yamaha dealership and spoke to a mechanic he confirmed its just the computer flagging up the oil change interval for 600Miles. Phew.
