    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.

Probably a dum question but...

My oil light comes on just when I put my keys in and am about to start the bike and turns off once I start the bike. If it turns off when I start my bike does that mean everything is ok?
 
It's all good, that's normal operation. It is telling you there is no pressure, when the oil pump turns and some pressure comes up, the light goes out.
 
Yes, that is okay.
Think of that light as an oil "pressure" light, it comes on when there is no or low oil pressure (it is not a low oil level indicator).

If the light did not come on when turned on key before starting engine, then you should be concerned that there is a probelm with the indication (probably bad bulb).

There are never dumb questions...
(only people) ;)

Always ask questions... never hurts and someone else might be thinking the same thing but didn't ask...
 
Thanks guys, that is totally what I thought it was but was just not 100% sure.
 
FYI, the oil pressure on these old Suzuki's is extremely low. usually between 1.4 - 7.1 psi It's also very rare to have one with a true oil pressure problem.
