Spurious Oil Warning Light

[philshaq]

Thanks for the advise Darrsi, that was my understanding as well, but its always nice to get a second opinion!


I rode it to work today after triple checking the oil level before setting off and then half way to work and I got there and back with completely no issues. The light kept going out and coming back on again periodically but on the way to work it seemed to go off and stay off once i'd got just over half way. On the way back it seemed to go off then come back on...


I think it sounds like a dodgy / clogged sensor. Has anyone had similar symptoms and found the same thing when changing the oil / taking the sump out?


I'm thinking of dropping the sump when I do the oil change on the weekend, is this wise? Am I embarking on a big job for little reward?!


I'm guessing that I'll need to take the exhaust off?


Thanks as always
