Post by: speed545 on May 13, 2011, 04:15:59 AM
Hey guys,

Took the bike for a ride last sunday and twice, the oil pressure light came on and went off again. It just blink.  It happened while i was shifting up from 4th and 3th.

Oil level is ok. Running Belray semi synt

Did not happen again and i commute to work with the bike

Any clue?

Thx

Check the connection to the oil pressure sensor and make sure it's tight.  You may have to replace it, though.

was the bike close to stalling? The light may come on if so.

Probably just a loose connection on the oil pressure sender. But you might want to have a dealer check it out just to be sure- a flashing [low oil pressure] warning is fine but true low oil pressure has to be addressed and fixed. The oil pressure sender is located at the bottom of the engine, just above the oil pan, in the very front. You should see it with a single wire going to it; check that wire and the connection to the sender itself.
