• 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.

Oil Pressure Light on Startup Sometimes

Sometimes the oil pressure light will stay on after I start my Spyder. If I shut it off and restart it the light will go out. Any thoughts? I have a 2009 SM5 with around 19,000 miles. Oil is full and it happens before and after an oil change. It's been happening for the past year or so.

Thanks!
 
Could be..!!

Your oil pressure sending unit. Many times it will delay a bit depending on weather and running conditions. Make sure oil level is good and clean. The oil light indicates oil pressue not level or condition...:thumbup:
 
More than likely as stated above, its your oil pressure switch. You should also be able to rev the vehicle to above 2320rpms for a few seconds and the light will go out. It seems like BRP recalibrated their software so it wasnt as "touchy" on certain trouble codes. I would make sure all of your software is up to date. This is done with a quick scan on a computer at your dealer!
 
Thanks guys, I ordered the pressure switch since it was only $10. I have to get the bike to the dealer to have recall work done so I'll have them hook it up to BUDS and check the software as well. Right now I've got it torn down in the drive way replacing Y-pipe gaskets and checking my valve clearances.
