The filter brand would not affect the oil level sensor as long as the oil can be seen at near the proper level in the sight glass
Nope, with the dry sump, letting it idle/run doesn't move the oil. You won't get the results you're looking for.. . . . I did fire it up and let it run for about 5 minutes, revved it some, and it sounds good. . . .
Huh? The oil pump will certainly move the oil any time the engine is running.Nope, with the dry sump, letting it idle/run doesn't move the oil. You won't get the results you're looking for.
As I mentioned to you earlier in my replies, looks like your identical situation as mine ended with the same happy result, the oilUpdate: Finally said F it, and went for a ride, within 10 minutes the oil light went off.
Yes, in my typical piss poor way of articulation. . . . I didn't describe it completely/correctly. If you add oil, start the engine, let it run. . . . it will not show up in the window. The bike has to be ridden. . . . I don't know for how long, or how far . . . . it may have to do with how the bike is ridden. . . . for the oil to show up in the window. As he found out.Huh?

I've been riding bikes for a l-o-o-o-o-ng time. She is nothing like any of the others I've ridden, for better or worse, and she's my favorite. So don't feel stupid, she's not like the other kids on the block. I went through the same thing. Added 3.4-ish, started her up, started on a ride, oil light came on, and stayed on. I hadn't gone 100 yards. I turned around, parked her, checked the window. . . . no oil. Ended up adding the remaining .5qt. Light went off, and stayed of. Hmmmm, so it's that kind of party. So be it.Update: Finally said F it, and went for a ride, within 10 minutes the oil light went off. She runs great. I feel vaguely stupid. . . .
That's what I meant to say, but I can't go back and edit it, so I'll just be cool and look like an idiot.Pressure related? I think it's a level sensor?
B.T.D.T.. . . . but I can't go back and edit it. . . .

Ha ha! No worries man, we’ve all been there!That's what I meant to say, but I can't go back and edit it, so I'll just be cool and look like an idiot.
manufacturers (in Canada anyhow) cannot void a warranty if you work on the bike yourself, and I many states it applies the same even with some very specific laws.Working on it yourself while under warranty. Might get your warranty voided.
they have to prove that part directly caused the failure. for an oil filter to cause an oil light sensor to malfunction is a leap. if the oil filter actually caused the oil pump to lose prime or cause an actual problem that is a very tough battle to overcome. NO manufacturer has the right to force you to use vendor parts and holding your warranty over your head when you use non-OE parts constitutes force, i'm in business today thanks to thatBecause if you use a non-Yamaha part that they can claim/prove caused a failure, that can be an issue.
