oil light

[mathis11]

Hey I just joined this forum and i have a question about the oil light. I recently sold a shadow spirit 750 custom and bought a 2006 zx6r. I've taken the fairings off to get painted and have been doing routine things like changing the turn signals and installing a yosh pipe and other small things. when i was installing the pipe one of the steps said to turn the battery on and check for the FI light to come on. That didn't come on so I was fine, but I did notice that the oil light was on and then I made sure that the correct amount of oil was in the little window. The light is still on and my dealer said to just bring it in there. I would like to try to fix it myself, and have the dealer be me last resort. Any help would be appreciated thank you.

check the conestions to the sensor and make sure its tight...you may ahve knocked it when putting the exhaust on or removing the fairings

it's ok that the light is flashing when the key is turned on as long as the engine is not running. the reason the light flashes when the engine is off is because there is no oil pressure when the engine isn't running. Now, if your light is flashing and the engine is running, that is a different story and you need to trailer your bike to a service shop to check it out ASAP because you will cause major engine damage if you run it with no oil pressure.
