How could anyone think that was an improvement on the Original bars and seat.
There's having no taste and them there's that.  ;D

Don't sit on the fence Mike, tell us what you really think  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D 

Our US cousins love them seats and bars.

Mag1:
Have same seat on my xs750, which is also an import. It is horrible in real life, but sooooooo comfy, but it has to go. If there is debris in the screen, I would change the oil filter screen and then try to clean out the whole engine with cheap oil, see if that cleans out all the built up rubbish. Then recheck the screen for debris again. Now I don't know but someone on here can come in to confirm add some engine oil cleaner treatment to see if that helps, but if you start hearing metal fatigue noises then stop immediately. Then you know it's time for a engine strip down, clean, inspect and replace parts. But someone with more experience will defo pipe in, trigger is your man here

Thanks for the help Mag. I have tried all of that. The screen was really clean, ive changed the oil and the filter, and serviced the pump. The fault is really sporadic so I have just bought an oil pressure tester/guage as I'm starting to think its just the pressure sensor is faulty. Its tonights evolution so I'll let you know. ;D

I would check the wire from the oil pressure switch for any chafing or other damage to the insulation, follow the loom up to where it enters the warning lamp. Any damaged insulation allowing the bare wire to touch any part of the frame or engine will cause the light to come on while it's running. If the wire is sound, change the oil pressure switch, they do fail intermittently occasionally. That could well be the cause of your symptoms, as worn mains or big ends make rumbling or knocking sounds, if you don't hear those noises, change the switch, it's much easier than tearing down the motor to find there's nothing wrong inside, and even less hassle than fitting a pressure tester!
