Oil light on?
Hey guys,
I wanted to be sure that this is normal... Everytime I turn on my bike the oil light lights up just until you start it up. Then it goes off, i'm thinking this is normal but, don't know since this is my 1st.
Is this normal?
Also, just cause I saw it in another post... Do I have a trip odemoter? If so how do you use it? I'm assuming somehow involves the button on the bottom of speedo...
Thanks,
Jason

That's normal with the oil light coming on like that. there is a button on the bottom of the speedo that you press and the trip meter should come up as well. press and hold does take the trip back to 0 miles.

Correct on all of it. For the trip odometer, just push the button to switch from your actual milage to the trip miles. Hold the button in to re-set the tripmeter. Also, I thought that HD may have switched to have the speedo have two trip odometers, but I can't remember 100%.....As I may be confusing that with another bike or my fourwheeler. And yes, your oil light should go out once you start the bike.

I can't believe I haven't figured this out already! LOL!
The oil light I was fairly sure was normal but, I thought I saw go off last night before I started up so it made me curious.
Get to feelin' better bro!
