oil warning light
« on: 18 June 2015, 08:56:37 am »
Oil light came on at low revs this morning. I was accelerating at only 4000rpm oil light came on for about 3 seconds then went off. It was not fully warmed as I'd only done about 2 miles. Should i be worried? Its never came on whilst riding before. Oil level seems ok in the window.

mine does it occasionally.  I was worried at first thinking it was oil pressure but it's not, it's oil level so don't panic the engine won't seize on you (that's not to say it won't seize for other reasons though  ;) ).


It comes on more under acceleration and when going up hill.


Just keep checking your oil levels and all will be ok.

Check the level by the sight glass and top up a little if necessary, but not unusual and nothing to worry about.
