Got a 93 ZX-11D with a problem. The oil light comes on at idle. As soon as you pick up the throttle it goes out, above 1200 rpm. It doesn't do it when it's cold only after it warms up. Yes, it's full of oil up to the upper line. I'm thinking maybe a clog in an oil line or a worn out oil pump? It's got 21,000 miles on it. Any ideas?

jbsmd....I'm using Silkolene 20W/50 semi synthetic oil. Been using semi synthetic since break in.
zedx11....Someone suggested that to me but I didn't hold to much faith in that person. Now hearing it for the second time I probably should look into that. Is there a way to test the sending unit? or is it a cheap part? |

I don't know the price but I don't think it was that much.
you can get a ballpark price from places like bikebandit. I think it's cheap enough that you won't need to test the old one.

I removed the screw, cleaned it up, packed it in die-electric gel. Now it works like a charm. I would try cleaning it first before you drop any coin. Good Luck Frankie Zee... |

Anyway....YES problem solved. I removed the switch and it was greese packed and filthy so before I bought a new one I cleaned it up and replaced it and WOW it worked. Thanks for the responses. OH and this is a California model and yes the RPM was running a little low (1,000) so I bumpped it up to 1,200 and it's running better now. ![]() |
