Hey, all gots a 2006 Summit 800 HO with kind of a weird issue.... Last year on last trip coming down the switchbacks at Allen Creek, each time I let the throttle off and allowed the clutch to do the braking.... My Oil light comes on... As soon as I get into her again, the light goes off and its normal, cant find any visual indication, nor does the sled run rough or has any intermittent issues... Would like to solve as these 800's aren't cheap to re-do....
Thx

the oil level sensors are really sensative on the revs and XP's. im assuming this was happing coming down a hill? even with a quarter tank of oil, the ligh will come on when the oil gets sloshing around ( down a hill or boondocking)

the oil light on my rev will come on with better than half the resevoir full. scared the crap out of me the first time it did it as i was well past skinny ridge when we were riding owl head and to get oil was a bumpy ride to the bottom. ususally it goes away if i sit at an idle, but once the boondockin commences...

just keep an eye on the oil level i suppose
