Is there a fix yet for the oil pressure lamp going off when on a steep hill, or when riding a long wheelie? I remember on my last Viper the oil pressure sensor would go off, and cut the engine. When the skis touched the ground it regained oil pressure and started to pull again.

Is there a fix for this? I know people do steep and long climbs on these, and that wouldnt be possible without a fix.

Has anyone tried this? http://www.theracinstation.com/raci...pressure-bypass-detail.htm?productid=-3549680

Is this really the right fix for this? Fooling the pressure sensor dont sound like a good idea.

I asked Boost-It about their oil pressure sensor bypass, and if there were any dangers of damaging the engine when using this. But they got back to me, and said if i ran a tether i would be safe. I guess that is if the sled rolls over and the pump cant reach the oil, the tether shuts it of.

That is correct. A good Four Stroke Solutions tether and a pressure switch plug and you are good to go.

Do you need the four stroke solutions tether, or does a regular arctic cat tether work sufficient? I already have the arctic cat tether.

I would like to order one of the pressure switch bypasses from tou Racinstation. Send me a pm.

Tried to order, but cant get the shipping right, since I live in Norway and need international shipping. Can only choose between USA and Canada.
