OIL LIGHT ON - Seriously

[posplayr]

Tks Nessim

I dont understand very well the thing about the clutch u wrote...

can u explain me better pls

and how the clutch can influence the oil pressure, or pomp?

tks

Find the manual for your bike, the oil pump is located behind the clutch. It is possible if the clutch came loose the pump would no longer be driven by the clutch. A oil pressure gauge would answer your concerns.

I had an oil light issue and started a thread about it. There was never a problem with my pump or clogged screen, etc. I ended up taking the plunger and screw off after examining the switch and installed a gauge bought from Renobruce. I like looking down and seeing the actual pressure (or close to it). It was worth the extra money over getting a new switch or at least it was to me.

It could well be what Posplayer and Nessism are suggesting about the clutch nut. Start the bike and lean it over both ways. Does the light come on more when leaned right?
Driving the bike does it come on when dowshifting or braking hard and then go off again when you roll on the throttle?
If yes to any of these the clutch may be assembled wrong and only engages the oil pump drive dogs when load or gravity is applied.
When the drive is on it pulls the clutch into the oil pump drive because the primary gears are helical. Leaning the bike left at a standstill does the same. On the overrun the drive comes backways through the gearbox and lifts the clutch away from the pump drive. Leaning right at a standstill does the same.
Pulling the clutch lever in can do it as well when your are at standstill.


This clutch was assembled wrong. You can see the wear on the clutch hub and the driving dogs for the oil pump.

Do you keep the bike on the side stand or the centre stand. If you keep it on the side stand try parking up on the centre stand next time and see if it makes a difference to the smoke. It could be the valve seals are leaking.
