No oil pressure, I need your help!

Z1000 · 03-27-09, 05:23 PM

I just changed the oil, which I do every spring before I start to ride. I changed the oil filter (Kawasaki brand) and put 3 quarts, 20 ounces of Mobil1 Racing 4T 10W40 oil in my Z1000.

I started it up and the oil light would not go off. I ran it for close to a minute and turned it off. I unscrewed the filter and it had no oil in it. I thought maybe the filter was defective so I got another brand new filter and changed it out. I started it and let it run for 30 seconds or so and the light still did not go out. I waited a few minutes and let it run for 30 more seconds. It still has not gone out and the new filter is empty.

The bike only has 3,600 miles on it and still looks brand new. Does anyone have a clue what might be going on with it?

Thanks in advance,

Mike
