Oil Pressure Indicator Lamp
See
Figure 1. The oil pressure indicator lamp (4) is lit when sufficient oil is not circulating through the engine. Refer to
Table 1.
The lamp is lit when the ignition is turned on before starting engine. With engine running, the lamp is off when engine speed is above idle.
Circumstances that could cause the oil indicator lamp to illuminate:
Low oil level. Stop engine immediately. Add oil.
Diluted oil. Change oil as soon as possible.
Incorrect oil for the operating temperature. Change oil as soon as possible.
For information, see
Troubleshooting.
NOTICE
If the oil pressure indicator lamp remains lit, always check the oil supply first. If the oil supply is normal and the lamp is still lit, stop the engine at once and do not ride further until the trouble is located and the necessary repairs are made. Failure to do so may result in engine damage. (00157a)
