intermediate oil light

[yrs]

well my bike was running fine no problems.
tonight me and my wife went for a ride and i noticed at 6th gear @ around 85mph/4200+/- rpm (calm ride) the oil light came on however, no bright just flickering.
i stopped, no oil leak that i saw, no oil burning smell.pull to a place with a light let it sit for a while, check the oil it is full.
under 85mph no light no nothing.
we were able to ride home (like riding a scooter).
any ideas? i will tear it apart tomorrow.
thank you
Ron

Check the oil level plug. If it's loose or dirty it will give a flickering light.

I hate that light.
I installed a real oil pressure gauge, so I could tell what is really happening.
Your pressure sending unit could be dirty or bad.

intermittent?

I like manual gauge idea.

if you have the pair sucker mod the light will do this
remmeber the light comes on when the pressure drops below 7 psi thus your motor will be cooked shortly after

Good luck with it. Will a loose connection on the sending unit cause this ?

Could over servicing of oil cause this as well?
