2009 spyder SM5 oil light on

[beckyj65]

Sunday I got my 2009 SM5 bike out for the 2nd time this year 1st ride it ran good.
Pulled out on highway and oil light came on and bike wouldn't rev over 3800 rpms with out spitting and sputtering, I checked oil level was a little low so I added maybe 10 oz. no change still doing the same thing. made it back home. any ideas on what to check?

Oil light on means low oil pressure. Time to bring it to the dealer and find the cause. Do not run it anymore until the problem has been found.

Maybe you'll get lucky and its just a bad oil pressure sensor.....

oil light

have had this several times and adding oil to the full mark cleared it up. Never got the limp mode bike kept running normally but stopped shortly after light came on and added oil. If it doesn't clear with adding oil then by all means have the oil pressure checked out... :thumbup:

Sounds like two separate issues.

One has already been covered. The other, running bad with low RPM's is likely bad fuel.

It goes into limp mode when the oil pressure warning is triggered.

Thanks for the replies

I'm going to take it into the shop tomorrow, hopefully its just the oil pressure sensor.

It's located on the underside of the engine, just to the right of centre. You will probably need to remove the plastic splash panel to access it. It has a 10mm thread and is not a generic off the shelf item at a parts store - genuine item only for replacement.

Lower front on the right side of the engine. Remove the side panel and follow the wire.
