Oil-lamp

rub1helland · Dec 28, 2010

Hi! I've been troubled with the oil-lamp on my brand new PRO.
From time to time it start lightning, and it stucks on until I stop the engine and start it again, then it disappears. I've checked the wiring, it seems fine. And the oil-tank is all filled up.
Does anybody else have this problem?
I've also had a few "bogs" with the engine; the engine wouldn't get any high rpm, just enough to go slow forward, and I got the deT-failure on the "screen", i stopped the engine, gave it a brake for about 30secs, and started it, then it was all fine again; no failure code or anything.

Sorry for my bad norw-english!

With the oil light...

The sensor for the low oil light is in the front of the tank.. so even if you have the tank 3/4 full and you pull a wheelie.. the oil light will come on.. FYI just keep filling oil tank!

yeah my oil light comes on 2-3 inches above the add line... just keep her full!

Hmm.. I stopped at flatland to check if the tank was empty (it wasn't), and the lamp stayed on until I restarted the engine. :face-icon-small-dis

I have an similar problem on my RMK ASSAULT
I have 6,5h on it now, it started after 2,4h. I ride from sea level up to 3500ft and its bone stock.
When I start driving up the hill first ride of the day and passing 1000ft it goes in to limp mode with det code on the display. It happens 3-4 times and then runs like a charm until I goes below 1000ft and heads up the hill again, then det code and in to limp again but only 1 or 2 times.
As for fuel I run non ethanol European 98 oct, its equal to us non ethanol premium.
I ride in Norway so I don't know if we have a different mapping compare to us models.
Any one else that have encounterd this? Ya and the low oil lamp also fu#ks with me after drops/jumps even with full oil.

That's the exact same problem as I got! Described on a better way!

I ride in Norway to, it may be as you said; maybe we do have a different mapping.
I also think my Assault runs much better and seems alot faster and stronger at right above sea level, compared to how it works around 1500 - 2000ft.
Allpowersports, do you experience the same as me at that levels?

Hi,
No mine seems to pull strong @3000ft, 8200 rpm on climbs from 2000-3000ft.
Where are you riding?

Maybe it just felt like that due to different snow type at sea level compared to the snow higher up in the mountains.

At this moment I've only had the opportunity to ride on the meadows outside my house north for Bodø, and in the mountains around there, it's not totally legal, but, I can't stop my self!

The place is named Kobbelv (in Sørfold kommune).
I use to do most of my riding at the border to Sweden, near Saltdal kommune.
(Merkenes -> Norrbotten -> Sweden).

Where do you ride?

allpowersports · Dec 28, 2010

I live and does most of my riding in Nordreisa kommune, we can do trail riding legal but all pow/climbing is officially prohibited ; )
I do allot of riding in Sweden also, Kiruna/Gällivare /Jokkmokk (born and raised in Sweden )
