Yaaayyyyy, there's finally some light at the end of this miserable winter. Nice 10C (50F) day here, left work early to play with my bike for the first time since November. Fired right up with a little bump start (too lazy to charge the battery over the winter...) Hopped on and took it for a spin around the block. 50 meters in, look down and the oil light is on. Insert curse word of choice... Shut it off, check oil level, level is ok. Started back up, light is on. Started again, light is on. Hmmmmmm...
According to the service manual it's just an oil level switch and not pressure, that's a big phew. So next guess is it's either blocked or malfunctioning. Doesn't look to be a big deal to change it, and used sensors are $20-30 on eBay, just wondering if anyone has seen this before. Sensor appears to be a generic Yamaha part for the R6 and probably some other bikes. Anyone seen this before on a Yamaha?
Will probably order one anyways and change it with my oil change in a week or two.
