    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I know an oil pressure indicator light will come on if the oil level is LOW, however does anyone know if the light will blink occasionally if the oil level is too FULL? Thanks in advance for the info. Happy riding, JOMII
 
In an extreme case, yeah, it could come on if too full.

The switch for the light responds not so much to oil pressure, but to oil flow. If there was way too much oil, it would be beaten into a froth by the spinning crank. Oil froth will not produce enough flow to turn the switch off, but, since the oil pickup is at the bottom of the pan, you would have to have nothing but froth in there. :eek:

Not sure the pump would even pick up the froth to move it around, but I just can't imagine having that much froth inside the engine.
