Super 8 / Re: Super 8 2 Stroke oil indicator

Thanks for the quick reply, I thought it was probably something simple with the battery.  Any recommendations on where to buy a replacement?

Regarding oil, something from Supercheap ok?

Thanks again

Super 8 / Super 8 2 Stroke oil indicator
« on: January 27, 2015, 04:38:32 AM »
Hi Everyone,
First timer, so sorry if this is in the wrong spot or something!

I bought a 2011 Kymco Super 8 2 stroke 50cc a few months ago second hand, only had about 2000k's on it.  It's been great.  It didn't get ridden for a couple of weeks over xmas, and that seemed to drain the battery enough that it wouldn't push-button start, but was still fine with kick start, so no biggie.

It just went another week without being ridden, first time back on it this morning.  It started fine with kick stand, but I noticed straight away that oil warning light didn't turn off.  I only rode it about 500m and went to pull in at a petrol station to buy some oil.  As I pulled up at lights the engine cut out, and I pushed it in to the petrol station.  The oil looked a bit low, so I topped it up.  However, now that the oil is full the oil light still looks like it is on all the time.  The engine also died a couple of times on the way home when pulling up to lights, so I tried to keep the revs on a little bit to prevent it happening again.

Any idea if this is all related to the battery running low on charge?  Could the light somehow be staying on just because of this, or could there be a more "mechanical" reason?

Hope this makes sense.
Cheers
James
