I just noticed something on my '07 that, for all I know, might've been this way for 8 years: if I stall the engine the oil pressure light does not come on (the owner's book says it should flash).
The light comes on in the self-test.
Can someone test this on theirs and tell me if the light comes on as the documentation says it will?
Also, where is the sending unit located?

Re: Oil Pressure Light
Based on downloaded owner manuals, it looks like newer (2012 & up) Rs don't even have the idiot light. Hmmm. Boy, I'd really like to know if the oil idiot light flashes as documented on any R so equipped. Is this something that was never implemented, or do I have a defect?
Anyone? Does the light flash/illuminate with ignition on and engine not running?

Re: Oil Pressure Light
Thanks. Wonder what brain cell awoke and made me look at this. The only time I would have noticed it is when I stop the engine by lowering the kickstand while in gear, but I guess I was lulled into complacency by the startup self-test.
