Re: [ST] RS Question

[Nathan Maher <nate@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

I've never had that happen in 20k+ with my RS.  AFAIK that light is an 
indicator of low oil pressure but as to what might cause this for the 
first few minutes of a ride I can't say for sure.  I wouldn't ride it 
until I made it stop, kinda sounds to me like "I was having a heart 
attack but I just ran until it stopped."

As far as the dreaded oil question is concerned my bike still runs on 
liquid gold - that is to say the Triumph branded Mobil 1.

HTH,

Nate

I checked the oil level and noticed the oil was moving slow due to the temperature drop in the 50s. After a few minutes the light went out and stayed off, but repeated again the next ride.
