It might be an indicator for when you hit 100ks perhaps..

like those silly beeping noises some cars make when they hit 100ks..

The 'speed light' you mention is a thing they fit for the Jap market. Set to come on at 100ks. your lucky it says speed, i once had a customer who got his bike bought to me by the AA saying, the oil light keeps coming on when i open it up!! Can be disconnected if it really annoys you.

maybe i was doing 100? opps

I think you will find it comes on at 90kph. Spadas light up at that speed.
Cover with a bit of duct tape. Disconnect. Remove bulb. Or just get used to it...sort of built-in radar detector

yeh mine comes on at 90ish as well, probly speed limit over in japan or something, just use it as a shift light to change into second

The japs wernt dumb and back in the day when they made in line 4 250s they equiped them with a device to let you know your going to fast.

This device takes inputs from the pegs and bars, and a moisture sensor on the seat to determine when your going to fast for your ability.

magical radar light that tells you no cops are around and that you can 'speed'
