[Help]: Why does the 'red light' keep glowing? - xBhp.com : The Global Indian Biking Community

himanshumm · 12-28-2009, 11:18 AM

Hi Pals,

Could you please advise- why the light (highlighted in red mark)

gets blinking, as day before yesterday i went for long drive & found this red light highlighting several times, its get automaticaly on & gets -off too. failed to understand whether is there issue in digi meter or it is due to insufficient fuel (about to get in reserve position) showing 2 blocks only in fuel meter.

as i have purchased my p180 2009 on this 14th Dec only.. thus my worry is...

Pl help & advise..

Query title Edited and Approved.

That 'warning' light serves two purposes mainly:

1. Indicating that the fuel is "low".
2. Rev limit light.

Thanks Aryan for advising. even it came first thing in my mind that it may be because of lowering down of petrol level to reserve.. but could you mind to explain what is your point 2 means..

"2. Rev limit light. "

Just to add, pic taken is not of mine pulsar 180 UG 4 (as in new version digi meter comes in white background) just used the pic of some other pulsar digi meter & highlighted to help in my query raised..

Thanks in advance

Once you have used all the power in that particular gear and any more amount of revving won't be very healthy(in noob terms), this aspect holds true when the light glows and goes off again,

continuous on-- fuel low

Thanks Sheel, got your point.. and its continuous in On position but goes off too very often...so guess this is the low-fuel indication.. got worried as couldnt find its explanation in the bikes booklet where all part & there identification is explained..

Red light flashes for 2 reasons as stated by Aryan.

(1) Low Fuel - In this case it's will continuously be lit up, and may go and come again, due to the error in accuracy of fuel meter.

(2) Over Rev - As you hit 9K RPM (or where you have the redline in your Tacho) it starts flashing.

I first saw it when I took a Pulsar around 120+!!!

So that gives the reason, Over revving!
