i finally dropped my bike today....
i knew it was coming,anyways my oil light has been on since,im guessing cuz it was all to 1 side of the motor?its been about 15min and its still on,i have plenty of oil,help me out so i can stop worrying! :YEAH

 

what bike?

 

03' 636

 

if the bike is in gear and not cranked but the key is turned then the oil light will be on

 

its on in neutral and in gear,at idle,im scared to rev it up,i have no money for a new motor and no patience to not ride
damn rolling burnouts

 

it was on its side for like 1 min....light is still on,still plenty oil in the facker...what the **** did i do guys?

 

pull the plug wires and pull off the oil filter then try to crank it to see if the oil pump is working. it should fire out of there kinda fast and quite a bit should come out.

 

so it sounds like the oil pump is clogged to u?
sorry i **** at motors..........and life lol

 

could be or you pissed off the sensor for the light but it would be good to see if the oil is at least flowing like it should be that way you don't starve the crank and blow the motor.

 

well its been sitting for about an hour give or take,i try starting it up and its still on ,let it run for about 5min and still on
i guess ill try that 2morrow...if there is any other ideas from any1 its greatly appreciated!
thanks hulkmn

 

my friend said ride it and get oil goin through the motor to see if it turns off...but i dont wanna do that if the oil pump is bad,smart?

 

do what was listed above and check out the oil pump before anything else.

 

ride it for a couple mins shouldnt hurt anything if its pumping or not..before i had a stuntex when my bike went on its side the oil light would come on and stay on for a couple mins

 

yea i figured mine would go off after acouple mins of sitting up straight,but it didnt
anyways thanks for the help fellas,appreciated!

 

should go off after a couple of minutes.

 

just ride it. itl go away.

god thats bad, i dont even have gauges, im afraid what lights would be on if i actualy hooked them up!!! lol

 

^lol,well i took u guys advice,rode it,shoulda checked to see if the oil pump was workin but didnt,rode it down the road,somethin knocked and it shut off!pushed it back to my house(like 50 feet)started it and it shut back off....hope i didnt mess nothin else up,its in the shop....they cant even get to it till june 6th!
i guess the lights r there for a reason
man im a dumbass
thanks again fellas

 

well damn man, how long was it on its side?? you may have hydro locked it, or in a worse case, spun the lower main bearing. ive gone through a motor like that once, for riding on the bar too long, and im sure quite a few others have done the same thing..but it shouldnt have done that if it only fell over for a couple seconds.

 

POINT WELL TAKEN, DONT TAKE ANY ADVISE FROM STUNTERS ABOUT A MOTOR OIL INDICATOR ISSUE,

yes you should have checked it before you rode it, the guy that said it fine to run the motor dry for a little while is first off an idiot, second off an *** hole. the pump shaft probably broke and the pump is not spinning with the motor.

Yes you just ****ed the motor up. If the oil level doesn't drop when you start the motor the pump is not working.


EVERYBOODY PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT BEFORE YOU POST UP, YOU JUST MIGHT HAVE COST THIS GUY HIS MOTOR WHEN ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS TAKE THE PAN OFF AND LOOK!!

 

+1 no oil in a motor will wreck it. bearings in a motor aren't like wheel bearings. everything floats on oil. take the oil away it's metal on metal and takes 2min to wreck the motor.
