Engine Emissions warning light staying on

[stuggyzx10]

Afternoon seeking some advice if possible....had a run today on my 2018 Xr and according to the owners manual that came with the bike the emissions warning light has decided to turn itself on..bike runs as normal no other dashboard warning light or warning text in dash...just the light stays on it is not flashing just stays on...i have  a MIVV end can would this be the issue and can it be deleted through Motoscan app or is it a case of a trip to the dealers who will rob me of my cash??....

Emissions warning light..?? Didn't know we had one.. Do you mean the little triangle shaped orange warning light between the indicator arrows..?? If it has come on there will be an error message below in the LCD. There will also be a fault code stored....you'll need to get the codes read using a GS-911 or Motoscan, they'll tell you exactly what the issue is.

Edit: The pic you've now shown is the engine malfunction light...you need to get that looked at pronto.

If the light has come on...there "WILL" be fault codes stored. What version of Motoscan and interface did you use...?? A GS-911 will definitely pick up the fault. Could be something simple like a sticking exhaust flap/valve....or something more serious.

Yellow engine is emissions only, all serious faults are handled by the warning triangle and error message display. It's fine to continue riding the bike if you have to but it's likely some issue with either O2s, cat or exhaust valve,  should get it checked out either way, and yes, motoscan or gs911 should be able to tell exactly what the issue is and clear it once it's fixed. With motoscan make sure you're looking in the correct module. Some error codes only come up in KOMBI, some are part of MOT, some are in the BCO, not sure which one this would fall under

Hmmm...my owners manual says nothing about "emissions" for the little orange engine light. It does say engine "electronics" though.

Odd... is that for a Gen 1? Maybe Euro 4s changed some of the meanings compared to Euro 3s like how they have a different diagnostic port. Honestly not sure.

Yes, mine is a Gen-1 '17 model Euro-4. When I fitted headers and removed the exhaust flapper motor, it threw a fault code but no fault light. I fitted a "servo buddy", deleted the fault code and it's been fine ever since...this was over 4 years ago.

Thanks for info will have another look in the different
 motoscan modules see if any code is registered mine is 2018 and defo states emission light and safe to ride but will increase pollutant emissions............ mine has the obd port as in the cars not the round stye port...i have version 1.83 of motoscan

mine is a 17 with an euro 4 OBD II connector....it also says the engine symbol is related to emissions...i did have this light come on, when i added petrol additive to the fuel (injector cleaner as part of my servicing routine)....it cleared on its own after riding well over 30 minutes at a stretch...
