Hi all
Just had my bike serviced by BMW. I notice now that the oil light only flashes on during test when you turn ignition on. It then remains off under any circumstances.
I am sure that previously the the light was on after the bulb test and before the engine was started.....when cold in particular.
Now it only shows on during the initial test and never again!..even when the engine is stopped.
Dealer spent 2.5 hours trying to figure out the problem but couldn't. Report says sensor ok and wiring ok.
Tech says that BMW dont even fit a sensor to the now models!...hohum....
They flashed the latest firmware too.
Basically I am worried the oil light would not show for low oil pressure at the moment.
Can anyone confirm that the light shows on their bike when the engine is stopped?
I do recall that after leaving the bike for a long time, on starting, I could hear the cam chain tensioner (oil pressure tensioned) rattling and the oil light would show for a few secs before the pressure built up!
Should I ignore this and be happy the light is always off?
