I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Could also be a dirty / clogged pressure switch.Current:
Z1300A5 Locomotive (swapped my Intruder for it), GS450 Cafe Project (might never finish it....), XT500 Commuter (I know - it's a Yamaha :eek:)
Past:
VL1500 Intruder (swapped for Z1300), ZX9R Streetfighter (lets face it - too fast....), 1984 GSX750EF, 1984 GSX1100EF (AKA GS1150)
And a bunch of other crap Yamahas....

On my '79 1000 when I had the oil cooler on it the light would flicker a bit if the idle was low and motor was hot. I removed the oil cooler because up here you really don't need it anyway and voila, no more flickering.'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/

Actually I have two L's now an 850 found me and it was free. It's a good story because my wife told me not to buy it so my buddy bought it and then decided he really didn't need another project so he gave it to me. Both the bikes run but are in the refurbishment process. I'm looking for a set of handlebars for the GS1000G or GS850G. The L models had horrible wheelbarrow bars and the old bars from my GS1000G are perfect especially riding with a pillion passenger. I'm good on the throttle tube and it was really fun to help Rob.
