started my bike today, my charging light stayed on,,still getting good voltage to battery? wtf, any ideas guys???

I'm not too familiar with the 71, never knew they had a charging light.
Can you find any info in the manual.

just the ignition light light fails to go out when running??

What colour is the light mate.
You don't mean the red oil pressure light do you!

If the oil pressure lights not going out when you start the engine then don't run it till you figure out why its on as if the oil pump is fcuk'd then you going screw the motor.

Like I said not sure what lights its got at the dash so not clear on what you are saying.

If it is the oil light first thing to check is oil level and then there's no water behind the rubber sender boot,
after that its pressure check the motor and check the sender.
