Newbie needs help please

Post by cjh8280 »

Hi guys/girls,

I have an 87 genesis, have a problem with oil light.

It comes on and goes out randomly, the bike has just had a full service so oil is all good, no leaks nothing.

Is the sensor a common fault? can they get dirty?

Any help be very grateful cheers carl

Depends on your driving style... It's an oil level sensor, not a pressure sensor.
1990 FZR 1000, 1993 engine, terrible state... but improving.

could be the sensor. Also, oil has to be at the top of the window so they're slightly sensitive when it drops a bit
If its not broken it dont need fixing
