Gauge Start Question...

[Kagey_98]

I am a new owner of a 2012 Spyder RT SE5 purchased on 3/24/12, and I just noticed, that when I turn the Key to "On", the Oil lite is lit. It stays that way until I start the bike, then goes out. Is this normal? I know the Oil was full when I left the dealer, as the Tech showed me during the "Get to know you Spyder" moment... :dontknow:

Thank you in advance,
Kagey

Yes it's normal just like most other vehicles.
Just look at the oil light on your car!

I had my RT in for gauge issues and they had to hook it up to the computer to see what was going on. When I left the shop I noticed the same thing. The oil gauge icon stayed on until I started the bike then it went out. Dealership said it might have been an update, but it made me feel better to hear that ya'll have the same thing going on.

Enjoy your ride!!!

Most vehicles operate this way. It is a safety check to see that the idiot lights work. The time to worry is when the light does not come on when you turn on the switch (before the engine is started). That indicates a malfunction. Not sure if this is covered in the Spyder manual, but most vehicle owner's manuals do explain it.

:agree: :shocked: Here's to hoping that none of you don't ever NOT see the light... :cheers:

Bob D: Would this be an appropriate place for Hank Williams and "I Saw the Light"?

 

[Bob Denman]

It would at that... :thumbup:
