If the Low Oil Pressure Indicator Lights
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Continuing to ride with low oil pressure
can cause serious engine damage.
Check for an oil leak.
Then check the oil level. If necessary,
add the recommended oil (page ) to
the upper level mark. If you must leave
your motorcycle to get oil, secure it as
much as possible.
If you check your engine oil level
regularly, you should never see the low oil
pressure indicator and the warning
indicator go on while riding. Normally,
both will only light momentarily when you
turn the ignition switch ON. Occasionally,
it may flicker at or near idling speed.

leak, a low oil level, or some problem in
the engine’s lubrication system.
If the warning indicator and the low oil
pressure indicator light while you’re riding,
don’t ignore them. Pull safely to the side
of the road. If possible, pull in the clutch
lever and coast to a stop. Stop the engine
as soon as it’s safe to do so.
After adding oil, start the engine, and
check that the low oil pressure indicator
and warning indicator go off. Check for
a possible leak.
If the indicators go off and there is no
leak –– resume riding. If there is a leak
–– do not ride the motorcycle until the
leak is repaired by a Honda dealer.
