thanks andy,

sad isn't it, but i've got the bike and this light comes on and i don't know what it means. the last time i rode a two stroke road bike was my mates TZR250 and i don't remember seeing it on that. i had a kmx and a wr200 and they didn't have one. i hope it's not terminal. my guess was it was to inform me that the rc valve is open and floor it, but my mate thought it was a signal given before the engine is about to blow up. Well, which ever way, i've bought a spare engine to rebuild, mildly tune and polish as a bit of fun, so maybe i'll need it sooner than i think (in for a penny...)

Thanks again for the sound advice and i hear what you are saying. Concors it is then, i'll keep the 18" and now at least i can source the free ads for nc30 tyres. with a little bit of luck, i could be upsetting my lady by adding another bike where i can't afford it and where there is no space.

i'm on pipe, so i'm out of here.
