Oil warning light

(1/3) > >>

Athame57:
Last night, or rather early hours of this morning I was riding around the empty (nearly) streets of east London looking for rats to squash et al  ;D when a nice bit of straight road came along. I let rip with the throttle and then a surprise, at around 8,000 rpm the oil warning light flickered briefly.  :o I never remember seeing that happen on a bike before. I checked the oil level, fine and new oil as well, is there much here to worry about?   :-\

Ooooh, err. Thats a bit odd.

My first thought would be oil filter as that's between pump delivery and where thecoil should go to. 

By no means definitive, possibly worth a brief look at it though.

Could try the same revs again to see if you get a repeat.

The sender units have been known to fail on 350/400/500/550 which i think are all the same unit, idealy fit a pressure gauge temporarily or replace the unit, i think Julie does a better priced one than Honda dealers

I changed my oil filter a week ago together with the oil....... but what could be wrong with that item?
