Question

I just don't get it. I'm really hoping it's not bearings. I might look into getting an oil pump first. Ralph L Angelo JrAuthor of Cool Stuff Http://tinyurl.com/ralphsamazon2

I've got just under 74,000 on mine, and I'm running into a problem, that could be a bad bearing. When I start the bike up, the oil pressure light goes on. Then it goes out after it warms for a few seconds or minutes. At speed, it's fine. I changed the oil sensor, but then it (the light) started to come on between shifts. This really started last summer. I had changed the oil when it started, but I went to a 10w40 Amsoil instead of the 20W50 I normally used. I dumped that oil last night and filled it with 20W50 Amsoil again. The light is still flashing on when cold. I didn't ride it last night. I just put it away. I can't believe there's anything clogging the pick up screen. But that is my next step in my search. Anyone have any insight or comments to add? I just find it hard to believe a bearing is going bad. I'm not getting any knocking or strange sounds. It's running perfectly.
