hey guys, i have a problem, i went to run my bike down the road, all i did was hook my secondary controller back up, i left and when i got down the road i noticed my oil light was on, thats never happened before, i didnt notice if it was on when i firstc started the bike, just noticed it about 300ft down the road. i killed it and restarted it but it wont go off, i limped it back to the house, check oil its fine, i even added some, light still wont go off. any ideas what it might be, does this mean the oil isnt circulating through the motor.

Check the pressure switch for chaffed wires? Loose connection

+1 on that one, I had my light go off on my initial start up and I thought it might have been the switch but I just pulled it and cleaned it up a bit and it worked fine hopefully its just some corrosion on the wire or switch.
