    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Oil pressure light

I got my bike running today, and it runs great. My issue now is after it warms up the oil pressure light will come on at 1200 RPM's or less. If I bump the idle up to 1500 it will go out.
As soon as the bike starts it goes out, and it has good oil pressure. I found that out the hard way when I first fired her up I forgot to tighten the valve cover down, and she puked oil all over the ground in just a few seconds.
I checked the oil and topped it off, and there is no engine noise at all.
Could it be the relief valve or the switch itself? It had set for a number of years.
I did change the oil and filter before I fired her up too.
 
I'm going to go get a pressure gauge and hook up to make sure I have good oil pressure before I do too much to it.
She does get plenty of oil up top, but I don't want to hurt the bottom end.
I will drop the pan and clean the oil screen, and make sure there isn't gunk in the bottom of the case.
 
If the oil light comes on only after you turn off the motor, is that okay? :confused:

I assume you mean after you turn the engine off, but the ignition switch is still on? If that is the case, then yes the light should be on until you turn the ignition switch off.

Yup, that's exactly what I meant. Glad to know that's okay.
