Oil pressure lamp on

The bike has just been in for service today (12 months, but only 2500 miles) and to have my persistent RHS casing oil leak fixed.

About half a mile away from home the oil pressure light comes on on the dash. Now, I am riding in torrential rain here so, after a brief stop to check there is actually some oil in the engine I slowly bimble off home.

At home I turn the ignition off and on, restart the bike to find the light still on. Spray a bit of WD40 around too to no avail.

I'm thinking there may be a bit of water ingress into the electrics here, so the radiator in the garage is on full blast, as is the dehumidifier to get things dried out a bit. I'll check again tomorrow.

I called the servicing dealer, who told me to use the KTM breakdown cover to get the bike back down to them!

Anyone had this problem after (really) wet riding?

BTW, service was £89 all in. (25% off everything, including oil)
No such problems on mine (and I have occasionally been caught out in a monsoon)

Hope they fix it fast!!
