friend new to these machines now has a round red light on just above temp guage    any idea of what it might be   thanks   his machine is 2012 cf600  6zforce 600ex

Just to the right of the 4wd light is the trouble light. It should flash to give you a code. It is on page 1-27 of the service manual. If you do not have one yet, go to the top of the Z6 category and download it.
