Oil sensor is bad

[Greg goes wild]

I'v had this issue since the bike went into the shop for the chain tensioner problem months ago. The oil senser
on the dash would read with the 3 dotted lines for about 10 minutes then go to ok. Yeah i know it sounds weird
but i have NOT had a issue with the oil being low at all. I just checked the OIL level for the first time since i had the 6 k service check. When i had the chain tensioner go out that's when the dealer said it was faulty n needed
to be replaced. So even if you have a faulty oil senser on dash that does not mean the oil is low

It always takes quite some time from start-up before the oil level will be indicated, until then it's always '- - -'.

Normal.

Normal.

Sounds like they wanted to screw me out of more $$$$ that's NOT good at all, I will
remember this cuz IF i have the 12K service there i will state that the oil sensor that
you all tried to sell me was a LIE to get more $$$$$ out of me. Then google will send
me a message asking how was service done at Wild West Motorplex. I WILL give
them a BAD review

Oil sensor on this model is very sensible, I suggest you add a bit more than max and you will never be bothered with the check oil message in the dash. Sometimes I gives me the message if I leave the motorbike uphill

I did check it about 1 month ago n it has NOT used 1 drop of oil since they did the
Tensioner

Generally how often do folk need to check the oil on C400s. I am used to Hondas which basically do not use much oil if any between service intervals.

Not often. And you might have better luck for more answers if you had posted this in the 400 section, instead of a 600/650 thread.

Very true. Did a search for oil related topics and it threw up this thread. Didn't notice that it was a 650 one
