Got a 2000 R-K when motor is cold, takes bout 5 secs for oil light to go off.When its warm ,goes off pretty much immeditly.Am i worried over nothing? Always run Amsoil 20-50syn

I see it is a 2000, wondered How many miles on it?
The Pressure switch is set at a Low oil pressure,,, 4/5 lbs and really IT could be the one switch that is set on the high side, taking More pressure to make it move so light goes off... If you want to check it accurately and see IF your pressure is OK, I'd do like Bud said and put a gauage on it.. Now IF you go that far INSTALL one full time.. You will have Both units and Know the oil pressure ...
I had a 2ooo FXDs Built Big and I put the Nice HD oil gauage that fits on the rear rocker-box top, Nice looking unit/chrome bracket .. Good for me to see the oil pressure... Some WORRY More after the gauage is on.
The pressure on cold starting and taking time to come UP is Not abnormal as I said It May be Just your sending unit... My 2000 took a little time for the light to go out also when cold.. But the gauage came Up right away..
The Kit offered by HD is easy to put on and IF you do,,,, BE Careful on NOT over-tightening the New double fitting you use to Hook BOTH back up,, or you can CRACK the front engine housing (Tapered Pipe Thread) Use a liquid white thread sealer on the connection-fittings... route the plastic hose thru the fiber Heat Shield, The line Fits great Behind the pipes and not touching... The fiber cover is Needed to cover the plastic line.
I have Had these HD gauages on 3 of my big bikes...
