Can You Ride a Motorcycle When the Oil Light Is On But There's No Oil Shortage? The hazards of oil light warning: Only normal oil pressure can ensure that oil is delivered to all friction surfaces of the engine. Both excessively high or low pressure can affect the engine's normal operation and cause damage to engine components. When the oil light warns, the engine should be stopped immediately to identify the cause and should not be restarted until the issue is resolved. Reasons for oil light warning: 1. Insufficient oil quantity, which reduces the oil pump's output or causes it to fail to pump oil due to air intake, leading to a drop in oil pressure; 2. Overheating of the engine, which can thin the oil, causing it to leak excessively through the gaps and resulting in a drop in oil pressure; 3. Damage to oil pump components or excessive gaps due to wear, assembly issues, etc., which can cause the oil pump to fail to deliver oil or deliver insufficient oil.
