Are you meant to scrape knee slides or rip them clean off?

might have blown a small hole in a gasket lowering pressure. Is there any loss in performance, or oil leaks???

You haven't got a Meta (if I remember correctly) alarm by any chance have you? My mate has one on his Gixxer and it uses the oil light to warn you that the alarm is not set properly. Turn the bike off, leave it to arm itself (30 sec) and then disarm, I bet that the oil light will behave itself.

Bloody stupid idea, using the oil light for the alarm.

Cheers

Yeah, remember it's an oil pressure switch, not an oil level switch.

Mine came on when my head gasket was weeping slightly. Could be a faulty switch.

Also when you're at lights it's not pumping the oil around as hard, and I'd expect the oil pressure to drop.

Hope you get it sorted out.
