harley oil tank temp gauge

• 2022-05-17

Harley has no specific oil quantity display. There is an oil quantity indicator on the main instrument. If the oil quantity is not enough, the red light will be on. After the light is on, you can ride for about 20km, but you are worried, so when the prompt light is on, hurry to find a place to refuel. If you want to add a specific oil gauge, you can change the oil gauge to electronic display. The red indicator is the oil pressure status indicator. When the vehicle switch is turned on and the power is turned on, the oil indicator should be on, as shown in the red circle in the figure After flameout, the indicator will also be on, that is, when the engine starts running and the oil pressure switch is disconnected, the indicator should be off The oil pressure indicator is connected to the oil pressure switch when the oil pressure is too low, the switch closes and the oil pressure indicator lights up Therefore, the oil pressure indicator lights up when the ignition is on and the engine is off

When the engine oil lamp suddenly lights up during riding, stop the engine immediately and check whether the engine oil level is abnormal.The pressure of the oil pressure switch is sensitive and very accurate. According to the official manual, it can maintain the normal oil pressure. The minimum engine speed is 900 rpm. If it is lower than 900 rpm, the oil pressure may be sufficient, and this oil indicator will light up to indicate abnormality It can be said that as long as the oil flows under a little pressure, the oil lamp will light up

In short, as long as the oil indicator lights up when the engine is running, stop the engine immediately and check the oil.Sometimes when the temperature is high or riding for a long time, some oil stains will be seen under the air filter, especially when the flow air filter is modified Generally, if you are worried about the abnormal condition of the vehicle, wipe out the leaked oil and pay attention to the oil level to ensure that the oil is lost

Why does oil flow out of the air filter? This is because the cylinder head has a breather valve for crankcase ventilation When the engine piston makes a downward stroke, the pressure inside the crankcase will increase. The mixture of crankcase air and oil mist will pass through the cylinder head vent valve. There is a filter medium in the vent valve to separate the engine oil from the crankcase air, and let the air suck out of the hollow bolt of the air filter back plate and into the throttle. The filter medium in the vent valve can completely block the return of engine oil from the steam mixed with engine oil, and can be completely sucked into the engine by the throttle. If it accumulates for a long time, it will cause flow

In short, it is necessary to check the oil level regularly Original engine oil is recommended
