I recently installed a conversion kit on my 06 softail to the newer hydraulic chain tenshioners new oil pump and all. The first 2 times I started the bike and let it run I turned the switch on both the check engine light and the oil light came on and then went out, then I started the bike. Just let it run for 5-6 min then shut it off. Last night when I turned the switch on both lights came on but the oil light would not go out. As soon as I hit the start button it went out and never came back on. The dealer told me over the phone that it was normal because there was no oil pressure until I started the bike. Why did the oil light go before I started it the first couple of times I ran the bike? If this is nothing someone let me know because it's driving me crazy.

 

When you turn on the ignition the oil light should illuminate...when you start the engine the oil light should go out within 1-2 seconds indicating that you have oil pressure. Is it doing something other than that now?

If you are really worried about it put a mechanical oil pressure test guage on it to see how much pressure you are actually getting. I would do that as part of a new pump install anyway.
