Correct, it is an oil level light...thankfully not oil pressure.

Very common to have it blink on during hard acceleration.

We call it the kookaloo light.

If it was a new gasket, you should be able to reuse it.

Some RTV on those half moons should do the trick.

Don't use RTV on the entire gasket, Randy yelled at me for doing just that....but I will say, that fucker didn't leak.

Alas, poor Randy had to use a crowbar to get the valve cover off.

Good for you in tracking down the leak. Kudos.

Well I finally traced down the culprit of the leak! It's coming from the damn intake side of the valve cover gasket where the semi circle is 

Its sucks because the PO had just finished doing the valve adjustments this summer so its still fairly new, oh well!

There is an oil light and fuel light check function that the owners handbook outlines. .

1) turn the handlebar run/stop switch to stop position
2) turn on the key ignition switch
3) press starter button.

Both the oil level light and fuel level light should illuminate on the gauge cluster.
Failure of either light to illuminate indicates a burned out bulb.

Correct, the ABS and Oil light are werking...the fuel Light doesn't. If I understand it correctly,  the oil light is just for OILLEVEL not PRESSURE? That would explains why it isn't werking like other bikes/Carson do.

Do you have the choke knob pulled out before starting, these bikes or mine at least won't start from cold unless you give it some choke.

Quote from: RPM - Robert on Today at 12:16:14 PMThe light is a float. It should only come on when the oil is low not when it is cold.

That said it is easy to replace with teh exhaust removed.

Thxs, If I understand you correctly, it doesn't light up if u turn the ignition ON?
