Have a look at the cables running from ignition lock down towards battery, if wires are fine then most likely fault to the coil.

RC = ReCharge, either the battery is bad, or drain, but both can be caused by a continuous short circuit on the bike's coil and the body / battery.

I have a 125 YAMAHA XT THE OIL INDICATOR KEEPS COMING ON WHEN STARTING THE BIKE. I HAVE CHANGED THE OIL DO YOU KNOW HOW I CAN RE-SET IT THANKS

Liam...

if the light just comes on before starting....its probably a light test check...Yamaha does this on many models so you know the bullb works.

If it is on with engine running...different issue

Bike will only kick start and lights only work when engine is running

Not much info to go on but could be a dud / flat battery. Once engine is running will run all accessories.
