FYI, that was with the overheated oil in the original engine, with replaced oil pump. I did already get a new engine...


Thank you

Hey Hucks 08,
What year is the bike? Build date? Stock or stage kit?

Jumped on bike with wife to head out for an evening ride after work. Made it to corner and Oil light pops on, hit display says 1psi I didn't even know it could read PSI on the M8. Then it went to 2 dash's then add oil. Check oil its below the add marks. And I see oil at base of cylinders. Dealer just came and got it. I have 9800 miles and have no issues till now 2017 Road Glide Ultra.

I guess I am not up to date, but when did HD switch back to a psi reading instead of the 'OK' oil pressure reading? It's a good thing, that's why I am asking...


Thank you

According to everything I know the PSI is gone, and I never had a reading just the OK till this happened thats why I took the pic dealer had no idea it could still pop a PSI reading up.

Has anyone ever seen a "Not OK" displayed? Maybe it says OK unless it is out of tolerance then it displays the actual pressure.
