Is this question to me or the op. Anyhoo not massively tuned just full race system k&n and leaned off a bit on the dyno.

Re: Pointy died on me.

Shouldn't be a problem with that. Bit of a bugger of a crank design

Re: Pointy died on me.

Oh dear.
Having seen Big Apes "Always wear you furkin leathers" thread as a long term sticky on here,maybe we should have a "Always check yer furkin oil"one up as well????
How many times have we seen this type of thread?

Crank is cross drilled to feed oil to starter gear bushing. It fails here.

if it also a pressure indicator, why have 2 ways of showing the same thing?

Just to re-iterate the point others have made...

The red light will come on for a number of problems (Fuel Injection - there's a myriad of problems there that could cause the red light, oil pressure, and water temperature are only 3 categories of issue).

The LCD panel is used to clarify what the issue is.

For example, I've had the red light come on for me too, at the same time as the bike said "FI". There's even variations in that, where it's either solidly saying "FI" or it's flashing. One means it's safe to ride, but fix ASAP, the other means "turn the engine on & kiss goodbye to it."

Ah that'll explain it then, more chance there being a weak spot.

Re: Pointy died on me.

There's a pic from TWF of about 20 FUBAR cranks, all either snapped here or scored front big end bearings!
