Pottering about today and a bright red oil light came on a mile from home. When I got back and rested it for 10 mins, the bike had plenty oil and the light is now off.

Worry, don't worry, start immediate tear down of bike, order a new xcx as a precaution? - what do you think I should do?

Ps it was also my daughter's first trip on the bike and she liked it a lot. :wheel
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

Nick,  check / change the sensor first.  Cheapest option and usually the cure.

I'll send you a good oil pressure switch to test it if you like. Then you can put the savings towards an XCX  :bad your daughter will like that even more  :icon_lol:
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

Thanks guys. I think I have a spare so I'll try that and see if it helps.
