OIl Change Problem

Angelus · 01-03-2006

After some advice please.........

Just done my first oil change on my ZX6R J1 X-plate and the problem I have is the stupid oil light will no longer go out !

Anyone else had a similar problem and know of a remedy please.

I have removed the pressure switch and cranked it over but no oil coming out there and yes there is oil in the motor

make sure the wire going to the pressure switch is connected or has no brake in the line. your switch could be bad if there is nothing wrong with the wire.

Had the switch removed and there is no oil getting to that either when crackin the engine over

Does the oil filter have a valve in it ? perhaps that is defective ?

back out the filter a little bit, then tighting it up and see if it goes off, you most likely got air trap between the filter, this is a common problem.

Do you guy's fill the filter before fitting it ?

The future's bright, the future's burping

Worked a treat

Started bike, turn filter off 2 turns till I saw a wee bit of oil strat to push through then re tightned it, all sorted full oil pressure back and one happy bunny to boot
