Oil light question
Hello
I have a mechanical question for you guys. Whenever I stop the bike using brakes and engine braking and end up in 1st, after disengaging the clutch, the red oil light comes on for about a second or maybe even less. So is that a problem and if it is, is it a serious problem? Thanks Have a good one -ecr |
Do you always check your oil before you ride? You could be low if your light is going on when slowing down like that.

It sounds like it might be a loose connection, but as stated, definitely check your oil levels.

Ok I don't want to violate any forum rules, but I have a new question:
Where do you guy buy your oil filters and oil? Do regular auto shops like autozone, pepboys have it? Or do I have to go to the local shop, and get it there/wait for them to order it? Thanks -ecr |
Yeah, most auto stores carry motorcycle oil; even some Walmarts. As for the filters, you can cross-reference auto filters which will fit the F4i. Here's a link: LINK. But me personally use a bike specific oil filter (WIX/NAPA 1358) because I believe it has a less restrictive flow ratios, but others use car filters without issues.

Dont buy it for a bike shop they ussaully try and @ss rape you on prices. The autozone by my house carries bike oil and filter yours may too.

And one more question:
What oil would you guys recommend? I know some people swear by amsoil, but if I can't get it what are some other good alternatives? |
