I did not open the radiator to burp it...but can....but how does that relate to the lube oil system, which I can't imagine you can put a bubble in....
I did find a thread about those two warning lights not working...had something to do with the left side cover...I pulled that off, to find two wires not connected to anything and not able to be connected to each other...ie same type of terminals. So nothing out of place except two wires that can't be connected to anything or themselves.

Going to have to do some reading on this for sure and get back to you.......
But after the hammering OR_Seedman gave me on another thread........did you buy the saddlebag mounts from him? If not then he is off the hook......
Did you check the rad levels or at least open it to "burp" it? Understanding the bike did not go over far but perhaps enough to create a bubble in both systems and you might need to "burp" them out.
Do not think we have a tip sensor on the 800.......

- January 16, 2017, 14:58:14 PMUnder the heading of the last thing you touched is the problem....I'm sure I had something to do with this, but don't know what. First:
- have never had either of these warning lights come on or stay on, much less together
- there is oil and coolant at the proper levels
- last time I rode the bike all was normal.
Now for the me part....
- Installed another set of saddlebags today
- while installing the left side bag, I had a block of wood under the kickstand, so the bike as level...so I could get the saddle bag where I wanted it
- while I was fooling with the left side saddlebag, the bike fell over on to its right side on the engine guard...not hard, just went over.
- picked it up; saw that some coolant had spilled...very little.
- went back and completed the saddlebag install.
Decided to go out for a ride. It started normally....I warmed it up...didn't notice both warning lights were on until I after pulled out and was riding a few minutes. Fan did not come on ever.
Drove the bike about two miles, thinking what are the chances both systems have a problem...must be an electrical gremlin. Then it stalled as I came to a light. It started back up and I got it back home without incident. The stalling is probably a red herring, but it made me get back home. It didn't stall again.
So temp and oil warning lights do not extinguish when engine starts. From what I can see, no fuses for these individually...so any thoughts from the group? Much appreciated.
