06' Apex GT 'warning' lights on start up?

[jpilk99]

I've tried to find out what is causing these warning lights/icon, but not finding much. Hoping someone can shed a little light:

It's weird to see the icon of the engine flashing. I've had the yellow guy come on before when I didn't have the airbox plugged in, but I checked that. Oil level is good. And I just started it so it's not overheatin...

Any help is appreciated. Thanks. (Please send snow - nothing in Massachusetts, though may get 6-9" Sunday and Monday!!!).

Code 81 is being displayed, that indicates a fault with your hand grip circuit.

Thank you, Stubbs. Feeling like an idiot, I didn't even notice the ...big fat "81" displayed. I was more looking at the lights and the engine icon flashing. Do those, (red and yellow light, and engine icon), all flash when there is an issue like the hand grip circuit?

Yes, and it won't clear until repaired.

Sounds like the dreaded ground block issue.

Check the big black rubber boot under the headlight pod, that’s a fave’ spot for mice to chew.
