We are still in Lima with a little problem. After sitting for a few weeks, I fired the bike up, and the Oil Pressure light came on. This is not good. Low oil pressure will quickly lead to total engine failure.
But right now I don't know why it would suddenly start showing low oil pressure? If I only have a faulty sensor, it's not a big deal, but I have to get it looked at before we move on, and since I don't want to chance riding it if there is an Oil pressure problem, I have to arrange to have the bike picked up and taken to the dealer.
Arghhh... :(
Otherwise, we are enjoying our stay here in Lima.

Still stalking but not as much fun without the SPOT tracker!!!!! Thanks for the update. Soon it will be spring there as it seems like winter is hitting Calgary!!!! and you may be able to complete your journey south......if that is still the plan.
ReplyDeleteTake care and keep the updates coming.

Hi Tim
ReplyDeleteWe are on our way to Blairmore to meet Bill and Pat for a few days of golf (we hope) It is pouring rain and the forecast is for it to continue for a few days. Our last trip was like this too. Hope your bike problems aren't too serious.

Stalker,
ReplyDeleteSorry about that. I gave the Spot to Troy when I went back to Colombia, and since we were unable to meet up with him in Buenos Aires because of the snow in Argentina... he couldn't get it back to me. :( Sorry about that.
Tim

ReplyDeleteYour photos are always so gorgeous and cosy. It really seems you had a lot of fun! You all seem so happy.
ReplyDeleteI do hope you will blog once or twice a month, I love reading your traveling stories. As I don't have the money or resources to travel like you do, I read about it instead ;) "
