Men that bike is beautiful
Usually means low oil pressure.
Sort of. These roller bearing cranks only use about 2 - 3 lbs oil pressure at best so it makes the oil pressure switch finicky and prone to that type of flickering if it's not 100% especially when you add an oil cooler take off right at the switch. Usually nothing to worry about.
Or a loose wire at the sensor?? Just noticed it was flickering.
We had to. When we tested it on Kanadian rats, they died !

If the light was full on that would cause it to flicker off then on but if it had oil pressure and the light was off it would make no difference.
That's right - the wire has to ground to complete the circuit, not be open circuit.
Could also be a dirty / clogged pressure switch.
Ok guys...you're freaking me out! Lol...
....I have to investigate the wiring at the sensor....
Rob put in the new Honda reg/rec I picked up for 35 bucks at my local salvage yard and new Rick's stator....
Think there was a problem?....lol
and new stator cover with an emblem....even if it's not the correct one....

Very pretty bike Trevor.
Hey Steve,
Got that "L" running yet? I Hope Derrick bought you a new throttle tube. If not, I have a spare....

Actually I have two L's now an 850 found me and it was free. It's a good story because my wife told me not to buy it so my buddy bought it and then decided he really didn't need another project so he gave it to me. Both the bikes run but are in the refurbishment process. I'm looking for a set of handlebars for the GS1000G or GS850G. The L models had horrible wheelbarrow bars and the old bars from my GS1000G are perfect especially riding with a pillion passenger. I'm good on the throttle tube and it was really fun to help Rob.
