oil pressure warning

I have a 08 spyder the oil light came on n went into limp hom mode I added oil but the lite won't go out n it won't come out of limp hom mode wat do I do?

Possibly could be a bad oil pressure sensor or connection at sensor at bottom front right of engine....Mine went bad and and i got it out of Limp Mode be Switching ignition key on
and off three times....never threw a code just warning lite and limp mode.

Does anybody here know how to pull the active codes out of a GS?
(On the RTs you hold down both Mode & Set buttons and then push in the turnsignal control as if to cancel a signal...
I'm just not sure if it's the same for your model though...) pps:

- Using MODE scroll to the Hr. screen on the cluster
- Hold down MODE button the left handlebar and the light switch on the left handlebar
- When you have those two buttons held down, with your left thumb flick the hi-beam flasher switch (down) 5 times fast - within two seconds

This is tricky to get it right it may take a few times.I copied the above from an old post because i was too lazy to go to the garage and get my manual.Good luck.

Thanks for the info: I didn't know the process for the RS/GS models. :thumbup:

Last night I asked a simple question - is the limp mode deal common or is it one of those rare things that just seem to be a focus. I see on other boards that at times things like this dominate the discussions making one think it's a real defect when in fact it's just a couple people posting over and over.
So let me ask - is this somewhat common or rare but heavily dwelled upon?

My post last night was deleted - I guess this is a touchy or banned subject or something.

It was deleted because of your last comment. Don't try and make more out of it than it is.
Here's a simple question, do you have plans to ever buy a Spyder? My guess is no that's why I posted what I did.

My original questions still stand and the last comment of "never mind" was just that meaning if it's so painful to discuss as rational adults then just never mind. I guess you either totally agree and sing praise or you're banished.

That's not the case at all, if it was I would have pushed the banish button a long time ago and you're still here taking parting shots as you go.

Well I am at a loss. I will not ask another honest question. My RT's get quite a bit of attention and one question always asked is how do they compare to the Can-Am Spyders. Up until now my answer has always been "pretty much the same I guess"

From what I have learned here in the last few days I guess that answer has to be changed.

I thought the RT was a Can Am Spyder.

RT = Reverse Trike, it's a term that has been around for many years prior to Can-Am.

Thanks. I didn't know your background. I just went to the '.com.'
