What Causes the Motorcycle Oil Warning Light to Illuminate?
1 Answers
Motorcycle oil light illuminates due to the following reasons: 1. Insufficient engine oil level: Results in inadequate lubrication system oil supply, leading to low oil pressure; 2. Dirty or viscous oil: Causes the oil pump to fail in effectively drawing and circulating oil, resulting in low or no oil pressure; 3. Oil pipe leakage: Damage to the oil pump or excessive wear of its components reduces oil intake and output; 4. Oil pressure sensor: Faulty pressure gauge or circuit issues cause low oil pressure. Solutions include refilling oil, changing oil, or inspecting the cooler. Motorcycles are categorized into street bikes, road racing motorcycles, off-road motorcycles, cruisers, and touring bikes.
