Scott it was a tad more than the oil light made you pull over.

Nice one Mark, the amusement factor is worth every penny

As for the Neutral light, I quite like mine as it's built into my main ON/OFF switch

As for the oil light as I keep asking Dallas,
"knowing what you do about Ducati oil pressure switches, if you were in chance of winning the race and the oil light came on would you stop?"

Blank them is often the safest option

Call me old fashioned but I'm not sure I would be comfortable with no oil pressure light, would fitting a pressure gauge be a better way forward :confused:

Probably less likely to fail than the pressure switch, but older types adds another connection where as later transducer types are probably more costly

Apart from going round Honda like Peter Collins I had no idea I had trouble till the light came on and the penny dropped.
If it hadn't I would've gone into the hairpin as normal (assuming the engine didn't throw it's hand in) and that could've been quite nasty.

Now both are working I will keep them, and I think if the oil light came on in a race I would at very least look behind to see if the bike was smoking and have a look down at my boots! But yea I would probably pull over, unless is was half way round last lap.....anyway lets hope it never comes on!

Now just got to get suspension sorted, when I got the bike off Tom it has the Ohlins set up soft for him in wet. Will need much stronger spring on shock to stop me draggin my sorry ass on the ground, so getting it done and checking on forks set up while I am at it.
Then just got to decide on paint job, I grew up in the 60's and 70's so may go psychedlic, or quite retro.........viper stripes...yea baby!

I think Tom had two rear shocks, one for wet and one for dry, do seem to remember him changing the whole shock at Snetterton due to the weather, could be wrong though :confused: .

He changed them at oulton last year too. It's not a big job though is it - even I can change the rear shock!
