Hey guys


im back with the old oil light problem. Oil light comes on after the engine gets hot, only when its idling though. Revving the engine turns it off.


Oil level is fine. No obvious leaks.


The only thing i can think of is that i should put a different oil in, one to withstand the heat better, as its only when the engine has been running for a while(20mins ride) and the oil could have thinned?

Im using 10w40 i believe :)


Any help mucho appreciato!

WF.. i found that website a few days ago, have you (or anyone else) used it before? I neeed a new Anti-icing carb filter and casing. And i can only find it from there..

little update.

Went and had alittle look, me and me dad are going with the switch is on its way out. :)


The connection from the wire to the switch was bad, so took it off, cant get a clean connection again so its disconnected atm. (waiting for wd40 to soak in and try again lol)


The wire is fine, on a earth the oil light turns on.


Soo off to the gpzzzone to maybe get some parts :)


thanks WF and Akey
