I am starting a new post because of what I found this morning.
I had posted last Friday that my oil light had flashed on while running about 62 mph with the cruise on. I had changed the oil about 50 miles before that happen and it was full so I had no idea of what it could be. I had several guy jump in and gave me great ideas of .what it could be and all the ideas involved changing the oil again.
I went for a ride this morning to heat up the engine before changing the oil and this time I was watching real close. After about 20 mins of riding I had the flash again but this time I was looking at it when it happen so I could see what came on. It looked like the same flash I saw last week BUT with my eyes looking straight at it when it happen this time, I could see what DID come on. Yes my oil light came on BUT my fuel light, oil light, cruise set and cruise on light, all came on. I never noticed any change in the engine before it came on but I did roll off the gas as soon as I saw it, so I am not sure if the engine would have missed or not. I did not have my cruise on this morning like I did last time so that is why I did not see it last time. And last time I was also watching for deer so I never noticed all the lights like I did this morning.
After I got home and changed the oil and started the bike the only light that came on for a few sec was the oil light just like it should.
So I am not sure I had\have an oil problem. But what should I look for with all those lights coming on at one time?
This is for a 97 with about 45K miles on it.
