Hello,

I have a problem with my 2001 Super Glide. Yesterday, i went on a ride for about an hour (approx 30 miles). Everything seemed fine. (no odd noises or performance issues). The only thing that was different was I had a rider with me.

As I normally do after a ride, I parked it in the shade to cool off it off. After 3hrs it looked like it was going to rain so I went to move the bike to the garage. I turned the key and the oil lamp was on and remained on after several minutes. Naturally, I check the oil and it is about half way between the "add a quart" line and "normal when hot" line (see pics). ( I assume the light is just an indicator of how full the oil is in the case) If not what else does it indicate?

I have read some posts on here, but all seem to relate to the bike running and pressures at idle. I have not read anything as it relates to a cool bike and the oil light being on.

I don't know if this is needed but here it goes: it was about 82 degrees, fairly humid. I rode the bike on some decent hills (i live in West Virginia). I took some pictures today. The bike is cool on a kickstand. The last picture ( i am not sure what that component is) this is the only thing i can see oil seeping out slightly).

Thank you for reading and any input!!

 

Are you saying that the engine is not running and the oil light is on???????????????????????????????????????????????? ??

 

The oil light always comes on if the bike's not been run for a while. As long as it goes off when you start the engine, there's no problem.

 

Its not an low oil level indicator light, it's a low oil pressure indicator light, that's why it came on when you turned the ign on but the eng wasn't running, no oil pressure voila , oil light comes on.

 

Thanks everyone for your responses. But I think I have found the answer it was something my brother-in-law called an I D 10 T error and it could be fixed with exhaust bearings....jk

I don't know why I have not noticed it before. I have had the bike less than a month. Thanks for being easy on me
