engine oil pressure light coming on, and then off
#29
From all youve said I would now check the following:- Firstly thoroughly degrease/clean outside of engine and dry off. Put paper/cardboard under bike on centrestand. Start engine & allow to warm up thoroughly Sometimes leaks only become apparent once engine hot.. Check for oil leaks. Secondly just have a look at your coolant in reservoir RHS under seat. Is it clean/correct colour? Remove cap & smell-Does it smellof oil/fuel-Is it "Milky" ? It may be the cylinder head gasket starting to go but i think your exhaust would show this as poss white smoke with a sweet sort of smell. Dip a rag using long screwdriver into oil filler cap & look/smell oil in engine.. If no result from previous- Thirdly, Do compression test on engine to ascertain health/otherwise of top end of motor. Good luck :lol
