roundy Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 The other day I started the RT (2006) and after a second or two the red triangle was flashing with the oil can icon on the dash. Eventually after a few restarts it went. Then later on that afternoon after I stopped at a service area it came back on. Weird thing was if I rev'd the bike the icon and the light would behave in a strange way, stopped flashing and stayed on and then as soon as I bought the revs down it flashed like normal again. It also went off momentarily a few times. Came on again this morning but after about 1/4 mile down the road it went out and stayed out for the whole ride. I am thinking I may have a bad pressure switch...? Link to comment
Deek Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 You didn't mention, but I'm assuming you verified (sight glass) the level is okay? I bet the switch is bad....hopefully nothing more expensive.....that's probably bad enough! Link to comment
roundy Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 Luckily the switch is only about £12...been talking to some techies on UKGSer and that's the first thing to try. Nothing wrong with oil level, flow is good as it drains after 30 secs and temp is ok. Oil is a bit over due but I'll change that when I do the sensor. Link to comment
Deek Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 I bet it is that sensor. That's good news. However, is that something you can do yourself? In the states labor is about $80 per hour....probably worse in the UK? Link to comment
roundy Posted January 4, 2013 Author Share Posted January 4, 2013 Very easy, unbolt old, new one back in.... It's just to the right of the oil sight glass. Link to comment
