Oil light is ON in my 4X4

[EigerGuy]

so after riding for a while my oil light came on in the eiger could the bike be burning oil it wasnt running hot or nothing there arent any leaks and the dip stick is fine its just a little low


what could it be

[KAW3604x4]

Does the fan still come on? You may have a blown fuse for the fan and the oil is not getting as cool as it should, as fast as it should. This had happened to me after riding through a bunch of water. Replaced the fuse, the fan came on and never a problem since. I say that, but I just remembered it happened twice.

Hope this helps!

oh ya i for got if i sit on the rear on the bike the light goes off but when we were riding it wouldnt go off, ill check the fuses now

also how does ur bike ride on the 27s i ws thinking 28 but i dont want 2 go 2 big

28s might be a little too snug, unless you lift it. I like the ride and I did not notice any power loss that was said it would have. Mine is completely stock other than the tires. JoeDirt gave me some jets for it, but I have yet to put them in. 27s fit real nice under the fenders.

ok, i just checked the fuses and added a little bit of oil the light was off for about 15seconds and then it came back on, is there an oil pressure unit maybe???


the bike looks good with the tires and yes my bike is lifter you would be supprised how much different is lifted not gettin stuck in low area where the bike bottems out

Just sent JoeDirt a pm. He should check in any second now. Maybe he will be of more help.

If you are sure the Oil level is fine....and the fan is cooling.....Might be a faulty sensor...follow the wires to get an idea of what you are looking at.

i know where the oil pressure switch is, whats gets me is when i start the bike and don't sit on it in about 5 seconds the light will come on now if i sit on the rear rack the light will go off

I'm kinda stumped because i don't know whats up, I'm hoping its just a bad sensor also that night when it happin the fan was not on when the light came on and now i don't want to get the bike up in temp 2 see if the fan is or isn't working

i appreciate the help thanks guys
