    Oil pressure troubble?

    I know I haven;t ridden the bike in a while, but there is something that concerns me a little. Under VERY heavy braking I will have the oil light come on momentarily. sometimes a flicker, sometimes solid depending on how long and how fast I was going.

    Is this normal?

    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back....... You probably highsided.

    Don't quote me I think there was a post a long time ago about an O ring on the oil pump pick up That when bad would allow the pump to suck air under some conditions

      I'm sorry, I know it sounds pretty obvious, but did you check the oil level? :roll:

        Of course. The oil is at the proper level. The high side of proper to boot.

        SqDancer: that's something I will need to check. I have never dropped the oil pan on my bike.
