Hi guys, I have been lurking for a week or two now, I have a 2005 model.
This model has an oil level warning lamp (does'nt it).
Can it be used to warn us of low oil or must we use the traditional method of a dipstick?
I had a FJ1200 many years`ago with an oil level warning lamp which worked ok.
my oil level light has been lit up constantly when the bike is being used, for well over a year now, so they can be faulty, I'm pretty sure the problem lies with a failed level sender unit in the oil tank, as the only thing that makes the light go out is changing the oil, the light goes out for about half a mile then comes on and stays on, I kinda like it now, it's all sort of, well um, red really, but it's a very nice shade of red, a sort of ooooooooooooooh mind the tree sort of bluey red without the blue, anyway don't you worry about oil levels on a 900, 'cause the amount of oil you put in the oil tank will be most likely exactly the same amount you'll take out when you change it again after the set amount of mileage, you see the 900's just don't burn oil, no matter how hard they try they can not get their oil to catch fire, when I change my oil it is darkened but you can still see the bottom of the drain pan through it, where usually on other bikes the oil is so blackened that this is impossible, I hope this makes you feel confident about your oil level and if I can be of assistance to any other questions I'm full of interesting variations, just don't ask me how to straighten a length of string as the laughter involved ties me up in knots.
ps. hello Dave284
