Oil Light...

Hi all,

I actually rode my bike over crimbo :smt002 Alas, on the way home, my oil light came on :smt017 As I was only half a mile from home before I noticed it, decided to risk a slow retreat home. Got home put it up on paddock stand and checked the oil level after a few mins.

Oil level was two inches up sight tube. So, my next question would be a slow pick-up or return maybe? Someone posted up here a spell ago, that there is another filter on the top pipe on the oil reservoir, is this a point to check maybe?

Any thoughts gentlemen...

Any obvious leaks?

Hi all,

OK Alad, where is the switch? What Ohms do I need across the terminals?

Cheers..

Plus 1 for the oil pressure switch.Mine failed this year. It's in a very vulnerable exposed position and can be easily damaged I think.

Hi all,

OK, thanks Blinkey, remember a switch down there. Seems a weird time, as my speed sensor has gone as well :smt013 My horn went last month, so hopefully things come in three's :smt017

And that will be all that's wrong. Expensive crimbo for a dark one.....

Have a happy new year men, may this coming year give us more sunshine and hopefully I shall attend the "Gathering's" this year :smt002

Must be the year for speed sensors. Mine went as well (but still under warranty).
But now my horn has gone !!!!
