Another little problem, Oil light?

[oldbanger]

I noticed the oil light on my XL is not connected to anything now the engine runs fine but obviously the light is supposed to be there. I have not got a Honda manual for this 86 LM model only an XR. anyone now how it's supposed to work and were it's connected I can't see an oil switch anywhere on the bike, am I blind?

So a photocopied workshop manual might help out a bit then????

Sorry, worked late. Send an address and i will fire up the machine and run a copy though it may be the weekend as i am a little busy at the mo.
But as to your low oil wire.Its called the dipstick,and it works a treat......

I didn't even know any XLs had an oil light!
Mine doesn't so it must be an LM thing.

Ok Guys it may be that the clock has been swapped for a later one from another bike I don't know the answer it has ign warning and neutral light also indicator lights all working but also a oil warning light not operative and doesn't appear to be connected to anything

Thanks Mal thanks for the advice maybe I'm a dipstick sending a message.

Just had a close look at my speedo and the lights from the top go
Indicator
Neutral
Hight beam
with space at the bottom for another light. Is it poss some model have an oil warning? Wouldn't surprise me as these speedos are used on many of the Honda range.

I will ake a photo and post it when i have the time guys.
