hi, can anyone help me? i was driving quite happily the other day on my Gilera DNA 50, and i pulled over for a sec, turning off the engine for no more than two minuits. but now the thing wont start! i got my dad to look at it as he is a mechanic, and the only thing he could think could be wrong with it is the coil, so he put a new one in today and it still won't turn over. there is a very weak spark from the plug. also, when you try to start it, the petrol and oil light both come on, but both of these tanks are full!

can anyone help? thanks...

clean carb all out and try it again

behind the right hand side panel is the relay , sometimes if you pull the starter wire it will pull it off the relay ,

or you could of lost/ the woodruff key ,,which keeps the alternator bell in the corrct position for the spark timing

i would suggest taking the spark plug off and giving it a bit of a clean, youve probably flooded the engine trying to start it, if this is the case you take out the plug and dry it off.for the week spark you need to check the gap, if your spark is over a year old or neer you should replace it. for the lights you either have a bad conection or the sensor clips have fallen off, there are many of these clips on the bike, theres one by the kickstart and one on the fuel tank, there should also be oune on the oil tank.
