4 Into 1 Oil Pressure Switch
« on: September 04, 2023, 09:09:44 AM »
A few times, since I started riding my “new to me” 2008 Honda Varadero, it mysteriously dies at idle, after coming to a stop. The oil pressure light flashes on and the engine stops. Resetting the kill switch on/off instantly allows restart. The light extinguishes immediately. I screwed an oil pressure gauge into the hot bike and there is no issue.

When I removed the stock pressure switch (identical to SOHC cb750) it was sealed with black silicone, so I suspect I am not the first to investigate…… Honda Canada has no inventory of the part. The 4-1 aftermarket part was only $7.50, so I ordered a couple. Anyone used these? Any issues, worked OK?  Thanks!

P.S. noticed they do sell smaller tubes of Hondabond, at very reasonable prices, which I added to my order.

My local Honda dealer sells me a huge tube at a huge price! I suspect he orders one for the shop too, and charges me for both.
