Instrument panel - checking oil level feature not working.

[ECILOP]

Hello everyone. I have a 2015 R1200 GS Adventure with almost 40,000 miles on the odometer and there is (or rather there was) the facility to check the oil level by clicking through the left hand control buttons when the engine is at running and at operating temperature; side stand is up, in neutral and the motorcycle is on level ground. The oil level is in the middle of the circle in the window, when I checked it at a fuel stop, so I know it is correct, but when I rode my motorcycle yesterday, I could not get the oil level check to come up on the display. I scrolled through every menu. It used to show up after the current date display. I am wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue and is it an easy fix, or does it need someone to go deeper into the engine? I would be grateful if anyone has any good ideas about what might have caused this issue, or if they have suffered with the same problem. I always check the oil level manually before and after a ride and only (rarely) add any (if it is needed which it generally isn’t) after waiting for the level to settle down as per the instructions in the manual, but this dashboard check is supposed to work, so I would really like it to do what it is supposed to do! Thank you.

In the setup section you can select what info you want to show. It’s probably just been hidden.

I’ll take another look at that, but I don’t recall hiding it. I have the full options as far as I know, showing total time and current speed and so on.

In my experience this is not unusual in any way.

The key factor is : 'Stand still for 10 seconds, on level surface, with sidestand up.'

To most riders this combination does not happen too frequently.

I'm not saying that there is no problem, but I do recognize the 'issue'. I don't worry about it. The very few times the oil level has dropped below criteria, the warning has come up.
