Hi everyone
Just working on one of my new SR500's and I was wiring up the Idiot lights and I came into a little problem,
It's 1978 model and from looking at the wiring diagrams and fiddling around, It seems like it has no oil pressure warning light. Is this correct? It just seems a little strange thats all.
Thanks a lot!

Hi, The SR doesn't have an oil pressure warning light...standard there is, indicator, high beam, neutral...Japanese models can come with a 80kph warning light and the later models have a flashing imobiliser light as well...that's all. No complications... There are aftermarket oil pressure warning switches you can buy if you really feel you would like one... As the SR has all roller and needle bearings (except for the little end) I guess they figured it wasn't necessary. SR  |

When I need reassurance that the oil pump is working, I unscrew the dip stick until it's not bound by the threads anymore. Then, if it dances around while the engine is running, I figure the oil pump is still pumping oil into the reservoir at a good rate. (and hopefully going back into the engine  Hax |

...and the later models have a flashing imobiliser light as well... Just as a matter of interest; my 400 has 5 lights. Indicator, High beam, immobiliser and one with an engine symbol. . . I'm assuming that's an oil level light. I've yet to find out for sure. |

I forgot to ask Taka (from Deus) what exactly the "engine" light was, when I saw him the other day, but I do have a workshop manual for the current SR400s. Now I can't be 100% sure, because the manual is in Japanese, but it appears to be for fault codes, ie: it flashes in a sequence to represent a number and you cross reference that number in the workshop manual.
I'll try to remember to confirm or deny this next time I see Taka.
