CHECKING YOUR OIL LEVEL

the oil level sensor in the oil pan is probably going bad.

Yes its mentioned correct in manual.The HI indication comes on when there is about 1 quart too much oil. Get the excess oil drained.----------- CHECKING ENGINE OIL LEVEL:-------- A sensor in the oil pan allows oil level to be checked
without opening the hood. It provides an accurate measurement of oil level, whereas the low engine oil level indicator warns that oil level is definitely too low. With the vehicle parked on a level surface, the engine is warmed up and shut off for approximately five minutes.When the ignition switch is turned to the ON/RUN position, an ISO oil level icon appears in the trip odometer window and a "clock" icon in the cumulative odometer display. Pressing the knob to the left of the speedometer twice within one second displays one of the following messages:
• OK
• -1.0 Q (-1.0L)
• -1.5 Q (-1.5L)
• -2.0 Q (-2.0L)
• HI
The indicated amount of oil must be added to the engine
if the message -2.0 Q (-2.0L) blinks and a signal sounds.
The HI message indicates that the excess oil must be
removed from the pan to avoid possible engine or
catalytic converter damage. If the ISO oil level icon and
"clock" icon remain on when attempting to check oil
level and no message follows, or if the low engine oil
level warning lamp comes on, a malfunction in the
engine oil level system is indicated. A conveniently
located dipstick allows manual checking of the oil level.
If no leaks are noted, continue to drive to the nearest
service station where the engine oil should be topped to
the "full" mark on the dipstick with an approved oil.--------------------

OIL LEVEL CHECK Every time you stop for fuel, check the engine oil as follows:

1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. When checking the oil level it is best for the engine to be at operating temperature, although checking the oil immediately after a stopping will lead to a false reading. Wait a few minutes after turning off the engine to allow the oil to drain back into the crankcase.
3. Open the hood and inspect the level of the engine oil tank. The fluid level on the tank should read between FULL or F and LOW or L.
4. If the level is below the LOW or L line, remove the cap and add enough engine oil to reach the FULL or F line. Fig. 1: Fill the engine oil tank located under the hood first
   
5. Install the oil cap and hand tighten.
6. After filling the oil tank, remove the engine access hole cover on the drivers side. Fig. 2: Make sure the oil tank is to the F mark Fig. 3: The oil dipstick is located under the driver's side engine access hole cover Fig. 4: Place your finger through the hole and pull straight up to remove
   
7. Remove the engine oil dipstick and wipe it clean.
8. Reinsert the dipstick, push it in as far as it will go, the pull it out and look at the level on the end.
9. If necessary, insert more oil through the oil filler cap next to the dipstick, this will completely top off the system. Fig. 5: The oil dipstick has two markings for level check Fig. 6: To fill the crankcase, remove the engine oil filler cap

LEVEL CHECK With Oil Level Gauge Fig. 1: Manual transaxle oil level check - with level gauge

1. Drive the vehicle to bring the transmission up to operating temperature.
2. With the engine stopped, remove the oil level gauge front the side case of the transaxle.
3. Check the color and smell of the oil. If it is black in color or smells burnt, further transmission service is needed.
4. Wipe off oil level gauge with clean cloth.
5. Fit the oil level gauge to the transaxle side case so that the threads rest on top of the case.
6. Remove the gauge and check oil level. The level should be between FULL and LOW level line.
7. If the level is below LOW mark, add oil until the proper level is reached.

With Oil Level/Filler Plug

1. Drive the vehicle to bring the transmission up to operating temperature.
2. Raise and support the vehicle safely.
3. Remove the transaxle oil level/filler plug.
4. Check the color and smell of the oil. If it is black in color or smells burnt, further transmission service is needed.
5. Transaxle oil level should be even with the bottom of the plug hole. If oil level is low, adjust oil level accordingly.
6. Install transaxle oil level/filler plug and tighten to 40 ft. lbs. (54 Nm).
7. Lower the vehicle.

hi,
you can check the oil level in your bike by using the "oil sight glass" at the lower part of engine in the left hand side of your bike, just below the left foot peg.there are two marks, the upper mark referring the maximum capacity for oil level and the lower mark showing the minimum level.The oil level can be anywhere between these two marks.Please make sure of two things while you check the oil level in your bike.

• Run your engine for two min so that the oil is warm while you check the level.Never check the oil level in a cold engine.
• Hold the bike in upright vertical position while checking the oil level.
  

I have provided an example picture showing the location of the oil filter in a Yamaha v-star.Hope your problem is solved.Please rate my solution as helpful.Have a great day.

first make sure oil level is up, then check or just replace oil preasure switch, if light still comes on, have your oil preasure tested, could be low oil preasure or electrical problem start there. good luck.

The owner of the car should be able to check the oil fluid and coolant levels .get a clean peace of cloth.tools for removing trans axle /differential filing plugs. so that when the oil or fluid and coolant levels are checked they must be on desired levels.Locate the oil metering rod or dipstick and measure the lubricating oil level. Remove the transmission filler plug and check oil level. Remove differential oil filler plug and check oil level .Check fluid level .check coolant level.Observe all safety rules .Use the correct preventive maintenance procedures. If the owner can't do it then it is suggested that he should go to a car mechanic and the mechanic will do the job.
