Oil Pressure Switch Replacement

[John_L]

I guess i have to start somewhere so here goes my first post.

 

My wife just bought me a 2001 V11 Sport for father's day. Love it and her of course.

 

My oil pressure light went out yesterday so today I checked the ground from the switch and boom, light comes on nice and bright. Equals switch bad from all I've read.

 

So I'm looking for the correct replacement part that I can pick up from AutoZone or O'reilly seeing as the Guzzi dealer is a ways away and the other two are within walking distance.

 

I've found reference to a 90s BMW switch, a 70s FIAT and a 70s BMW. I've looked up these parts and they all look different and have different part numbers.

 

I just don't want to get the wrong thing. Could someone in the know tell me exactly what vehicle to get one from year, make, model or post a part number for me? Would be hugely appreciated.

 

thanks for everything on the board so far.

A BMW switch (can't remember which models) will work but has a different connector.

 

inter-moto part no. 50570

Greg bender's site lists several replacements...for the older loop frame motors. I doubt they have changed, but caveat emptor and no warranties expressed or implied. You might ought to check the low pressure limit on any substitute.

Thanks for all the responses. I did end up calling Moto International who is the closest dealer (about 1.5 hours out and back in Seattle's awesome traffic) and will get the real deal from them soon but they suggested just taking it in and matching it up.

I ended up at Autozone with the PS158 that was mentioned in the link above. It's for a 1980 BMW 320i amongst other things.

 

Installed, light on properly with key, start and light goes out. Now I have to ride of course just to confirm which I plan to do in the next hour when I'm done with work.

 

thanks all
