When the oil light comes on that means it needs oil,the oil cap is located on the front of the plastic.You dont really want that light to come on so you need to check regulary.

No that is not normal unless your oil is low. To check, you need to unscrew the oil reservoir cap at the front of the machine, you should be able to see oil in the reservoir and it is best to keep the oil tank full at all times. The full level is at the bottom of the threads for the cap.

Do you grease them and do you lubicate the chain's if not you need to do that about after 3-4 rides.
