I have a 95 900SS CR. It recently went in to my local shop for service. While there I had them do an oil change. Since then, twice, the oil warning light has flickered on and off a few times. I've never had that happen before in 4+ years of ownership. Once was at the very end of a ride. I stopped in the driveway to open the garage door and as the bike was in neutral the light flicked on and off 3 or so times. The other time was in the middle of a ride in heavy traffic. The orange light flicked on and off two or three times.
I know it's an air cooled bike and if you aren't moving you aren't cooling. I know they run hot in general, BUT, I'm not used to having this happen. What are some things that can cause this?
* oil pressure sending unit?
* modified exhaust flowing too much air? Can that cause problems?
* type of oil used in the bike? (Don't currently know what the shop used but have used Spectro Platinum4 Full Synthetic 15w50 in the past)
* some blockage in the oil cooler?
Anything else?
Thanks for your help.
