I finally got around to knocking the dust off my bike and got her up and running yesterday. After a short run I noticed the red oil pressure light lense had come off during the ride. The bulb is still there and works but I was wondering if any one knew of how to get a replacement lense or an easy fix besides calling a dealer. Any help is appreciated.

Heh. My neutral light came off yesterday, so I'm in the same boat.

someone, maybe Soren, found something that fits. I've replaced them from the dealer's bin. Word to the wise - pop them out - even the new one when you replace it, and replace/reglue the lens with a tiny amount of clear silicon sealant. It holds much better than the stuff they're stuck with now.

I've cut out lenses from clear plastic pop bottles, painted them the appropriate colour, glued in place and they worked fine.
