my peugeot speedfight 2's electric start will not work. The kick works every time and the engine runs well, but the electric start won't work.When engine is on i hold the break and press the start button,it makes a clicking noise and the oil icon flashes on dash even though there is plenty of oil.brand new battery so it cant be that. Can anyone help?

I think you could have an earth fault - thats the negative battery connection to the bike chassis. However, if you don't think there is a problem here, then remove the starter motor from the engine and see if it spins when you press the start button. Make sure the motor is making a good connection to the engine itself though.
