Default Oil Light

2007 Street Glide:

When I turn my key on before starting the idiot oil light comes on but when I start it , it goes out. When I shut the bike off the light is on and then begins to flicker a few times. I am assuming maybe the sending unit can anyone verify. It only has 4k miles and I just changed the oil and trans and filter.

You are under warranty so take it back. Could be a bad sending unit or a short in the wiring or your oil pump has an issue (which I doubt).

If when you say "when I shut the bike off" that means using the run/stop switch then I'm not sure you have a problem. The instrument circuit (indicator lights) is still powered. As the engine rolls to a stop the oil pressure light may flash a bit as the pressure drops. Once the engine is at 0 rpm the light should not flash.

cHarley when the bike has been off for about 10 minutes and I just turn the key on and the instrument panel is on the Green Neutral and the Red Oil Light are on then in a matter of seconds the oil light starts to flicker and go on and go out repeatedly.[X(]
