• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Hope it works out for you. Keep us posted.

It's alway nice when people come back to the original post, and post their results.:doorag: It may help the next guy.
 
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
