i would rec checking the oil pressure-use a gauge,what is the pressure with the light on,then what is it with the light off,compare the readings
to the factory specs!-verify that there is a oil pressure problem versus a oil pressure light problem
if it is a oil pressure problem-and the pump is affected debri will be the cause-start by checking the pick-up screen,a new oil pump is
usless with a clogged pick-up screen,so i would rec starting there

 

The easiest thing you could possibly do is verify that the pump is in fact working. Loosen the filter and start it to see if oil comes out. You may have an air pocket in there. Some times the pump will not prime an empty filter (Although this is more typical when doing an oil change) but it's a VERY easy way to make sure the pump is actually pumping oil. Start there, no tear down and it'll take you 5 minutes. You should have oil running out at a fairly good pace ( no......it will not spray all over, just run out). If you do not......your pump is shot or the pick up is clogged. If it IS coming out and pumping then put on a gauge and check the pressure level. If everything is cool you have a bad sensor somewhere.

 

I just watched our video.........not to be a douche but I wouldnt be banging that ****er off the rev limiter if there is an oil pressure problem until it's fixed.

Also.....an easier fix yet would be to turn up your idle. LOL.

No......I doubt it's air in the sytem, mine wouldnt go away even getting it off idle, it simply would not push the air out with out loosening the filter. Loosen it andmake sure it comes out of there (oil) at an idle.

 

Didnt you just recently clean your crank case with seafoam or Kerosene?It is possible that during this process some gunkwasloosened up and now has manage to lodge itself in your oil pick up...

 

I was going to clean it but never got around to it. I wanted to do the oil change first to see if the oil filter was clogged. I took the oil filter apart and it checks out. There is not any metal, etc. in it. I am going to be pulling the pan this weekend. I am almost sure that a piece of clutch material is clogging the pickup.

Also, I like to bounce my engine off of the limiter. If it blows it gives me more incentive to add HP.

 

Did you loosen the filter and start the bike to see if it pushes oil out or did you skip that entire thing?


And you took offense to the Joey comment? [sm=WTFsgign.gif]

 

i have a feeling this is not a oil pressure problem and even if it is.. this problem is at idle so reving it is just making more oil pressure so not a huge deal.. also.. like i said.. read the manual it will show you where the oil strainer and things of that nature are and how to check and fix these... section 4 for lubication and section 5 for those MIL codes

 

SOOOCAN WE SEE SOME PICS OF THAT MONSTER THAT U HAVE BEEN CREATING???

 

Sure. As soon as I start to create it. I am trying to complete my college education so for the next month or so I do not have time to screw around with the engine. Right now I am riding an 06 yamaha roadstar warrior.

 

give me it i will fix it
