Triumph Speed 400,125 Miles, Low Oil Pressure

2024 Triumph Speed 400

Hello!

Just starting riding and I'm absolutely loving this bike! I was out for a ride the other day when I stopped in a parking lot, put the bike in neutral, and in no less than a minute of idling the low oil pressure light came on and the engine shut itself off (bike stayed on). I decided to let it cool off for a few minutes before running it again, it started up just fine, the low oil pressure light turned off like it normally should after taking off, and made it home without any issues. When I got home I pulled into the driveway, stopped and put the bike in neutral, and as I'm reaching for the kill switch the same thing happens, the low pressure oil light came on, and seconds later engine stopped itself.

Contacted my local service center and I'll have it looked at soon. I've been cautious about not exceeding 6500rpm when breaking it in, and haven't been riding aggressively. Checked all the fluids, seem to be at reasonable levels and no leakage on the ground when parked overnight. I'm thinking it might just be a faulty sensor, or something to do with the computer learning new low oil pressures as the tolerances within the engine loosen over the break in period.

Any help, advise, or tips is greatly appreciated, thanks!


UPDATE:

Service center couldn't replicate the problem so unfortunately none of the work done could be paid for by warranty. I guess $150 inspection isn't too bad, and I asked if they could record the reason for visit so it at least shows I did my diligence in taking it in.

 

Thank you!

 

That's a good point, I'll keep that in mind. I do believe the ground was fairly level, more so in my driveway, and my kickstand was up.

 

Yes, it was the low oil pressure light. Taking it in tomorrow, I'll be sure to post what they tell me.
