Hello
Had a few erands to run yesterday, Saturday, around Dallas, 95 degrees in the sun. Bike was warm, I could feel it. However after about 1 hour of riding both stop and go and highway. Was in stop and go traffic and the RED warning lamp came on and the OIL cal illuminated on the display. I stopped the bike, check the oil level it was fine. Re-started my trip, and the light was gone.
Stopped again and the Red light + oil icon came on at idle. At speed (RPM's above 3K) Lamp and Icon disappear.. This continued until I got home.... At idle lamp + Icon appear, at highter RPM no lamp or Icon... Check oil when returned home. Still at same level ( almost top mark, ~ 2mm shy)
Thoughs:
1. Time for an oil change (about 3K since last one)
2. Clogged oil filter
3. Clogged oil sump pickup
4. Failing Oil Pump
5. Failing Oil pressure sensor
ANY MORE ideas ???????
..... It will visit my dealer this week for a health check!
Thanks
Sam
