    Could be.

    Here's a link so you can familiarize yourself with the code and possible solution.

    Or, see your dealer.


    Identify what you have control over and find peace with what you don't.

    2008 same thing here happened. However the code you posted doesn't make sense - comes up "Cylinder 5" malfunction!!

    The new oil pressure switch fixed it. The oil light would not go out when started. Engine was running smooth so I knew it was a false reading and not real. If this matches what you see the oil unit will fix it. Actually it was a VERY common issue for the 2008!

    Pro tip! The old sensor and new sensor have different socket sizes. I had to go buy one. Don't remember the size though!

    The oil pressure light never came on just check engine at start up I replaced the oil pressure switch and that fixed it now all I have to do is replace the gear position sensor and I will be ready to ride again
