    Oil pressure light

    Now I have got my bike into race trim I have no oil pressure warning.

    Can I hook up a light to the sensor or does it go through the ECU?
    Has anyone tried this?

    You can hook up a light or continuity checker to the oil sensor to test it. Depending on how many miles you got on your bike I would check and change the PCV valve which is cheep and easy to replace.

    No, it doesn't go through the ECU. The sensor switch simply shorts to the case (ground). Hook up a 12V lamp to a fused supply wire and connect it to the switch.

    I took the positive power from the parking light for my oil warning light. The parking light is alwas on when you turn on the ignition.

    I have remowed the fan since it doesnt fit with the Aprilia radiator crash protection. To still have some control of the temperature I connected a LED to the power connector for the fan. Below watertemperatures that not would start the fan the LED just glows. At high temperatures when the fan should start the LED gives an angry bright red light. Time to go faster
