Hi guys a technical question please, 

 

is the red oil lamp immediately below the taco an oil level warning or an oil pressure warning lamp?

 

Can somebody tell me where the oil pressure switch is located on a 900, i know there is a level switch in the oil tank.

 

 

Bike was running fine except for fuelling issues, spent a couple of days changing the P/O 2-1 exhaust back into standard 2-2 and of course sorting the sheared off head bolts,

started it up to warm the exhaust joints and the red oil lamp is on full time.

 

Ive released the oil gallery screw and oil does seep from there suggesting there is at least some pressure from the pump,

so I'm thinking electrical, there is 2/3rds oil on the dip stick and that was exactly how i started the job, when it was running and showing fine.  

I need to test the pressure switch.

 

No error codes showing, i go into diags and scroll through but unsure what the second lot of figures mean for each sensor, help there would be gratefully received

 

Thanks in advance guys
