Thank you! My oil pressure light is blinking. Checked oil level and it was good. haven't had any problems with it. Light starts blinking when engine gets warm. What is the best way to access the oil sending unit. Through the bed? it just started doing this on my last ride after being stuck in a mud hole. I didn't get in the throttle that much and after i got out i noticed the light on so i parked it on the trailer. It seems to be running fine but the light is flashing. I have gathered that my first step should be just to check the pressure then if ok maybe just a sensor issue. It only has 350 miles on it.

Its in between the cylinders. You can access it if you take the guard off of the air filter. And then its the only sensor in between the cylinders with a wire going to it

The oil pressure switch is a 10MM X 1.0 thread, so make sure any test kit you buy has the proper size adapter.

Mine started blinking a couple days ago but only at idle, rev it up a little and it goes out. Thanks for the info on location and also the tip about the thread. I Have ordered the gauge and will report back my findings.
