  2. What bike have you got?

    Check the oil sensor/sender that is plugged into the crankcase on the right-hand side - is it showing signs of leaking? This part often gives out false positives for the oil light, it just needs replacing if it has gone faulty. Leaking oil is a good sign of this.

  3. What bike are you on,the St or 998 916 and others had a very unreliable oil pressure switch, this part is the same as General Motors part,but GM part is about 3 euro
