Oil Temperature display question on riders console

[adventuredon]

I judge people by my very scientific 'Piss Test'...

There are 4 types of expert on this forum..

Type 1 - Extremely knowledgful guys who are happy to share their knowledge and help others. People like mikeyboy fit into this catagory, and there are many others on here.
Type 2 - Extremely knowledgful guys who ridicule anyone that doesn't have their level of knowledge.
Type 3 - Dont know a lot, but are always happy to try and help others if they feel they can.
Type 4 - Know the square root of absolutely fuck all, but in order to appear that they have knowledge, they ridicule others.


The Type 1 and Type 3 guys are legends, and if they were suddenly to catch fire then I would happily empty my bladder all over them to extinguish the flames.
The Type 2 and Type 4 guys are total cnuts. If I walked past their burning bodies I would retain my full bladder of piss, and maybe throw a log on for good measure.
The Type 2 guys are the worst, for they have the ability to help others, but choose not to do so. If I saw a Type 2 on fire, id probably piss on the ground next to them, so they can see what they are missing out on.

So mikeyboy, I have a full bladder of piss especially for you, should you ever need it

Very aptly written!.

Guys, lest this become another drivelling thread, my bike is fine! Always has been. I am /was just trying to work out whether the sensor that is responsible for the "oil OK" display on the dash was indeed working or not. It does work, but just takes a longer while than expected(normal I guess) to show up hence my query.

I noticed to today upon starting it from cold this morning, that "oil ok" showed up instantly. And clearly the bike WAS NOT/ could not have been at operating temperature. Then after 5 seconds it disappeared to show the lines again (which is what I was expecting to see from the start.) A few miles into my commute when bike met all conditions stated in the manual i e at running temp etc , the "Oil OK" re appeared. So the sensor IS working, but I merely wanted to know if it can or does fail and if so, how to replace it. If I want to sell my bike, I'd like the new owner to know everything works as stated/should before a long post popped up in this forum of members fleecing others....!...I think its ok to say it works though...

The display of five seconds or so on start-up is exactly as it should be, as has been pointed out in Post 10.

Oil level will display when the bike is started and then go away unless there is indeed a low oil level. Oil tempeature displays as a bar graph on the right with an over temperature warning triangle if it gets hot enough.

Sometimes the level sender will display low oil when the level is OK. This is usually a wire connector fault rather than a faulty sender unit.
