Hello guys, changed the oil in my firebolt the other day. The bike was running fine before I did this, but when i went to ride it after completing the job the oil light came on and refuses to go out. It would appear that the feed line from the swingarm is blocked or airbound as there was no oil in the filter. I change the oil in this machine every 1500 to 2000 miles and have not encountered this problem before. Any light on this would be most appreciated eg what is the best way to free an airlock or sludge should that be the problem. Thanks

You only need two bikes in life-an S1 and a Multistrada!

Did you fill the filter with oil before fitting .( read that somewhere) Not sure if it makes a difference though.

yep half filled the filter,as you say-have done this a million times on this machine and have never encountered this one before,will try loosening the pipe and see if that helps,thanks

oil pump drive gear?

F-me I hope not , thanks for the link though but the machine is a 2007 xb12r so I believe has the uprated gear already? cheers
