Oil light flicks on during a hard acceleration on snowmobile. Any suggestions?

[Seth]

2002 zl 800 efi ss. It doesn't matter whether its a full tank of oil or 1/4 full it still happens. Just cruising along at 30-40 mph it's just fine, but once I really get on it, like 6000 rpm and above, I notice the oil light kick on, but once I let off the gas, it goes away. Any suggestions? Is this something I should worry about or just a fluke in the dummy light system? Also the sled is oil injected.

sounds like the gauge is at the front of the tank.. when you do a hard accelerate it forces the oil to the back of the tank away from the gauge which makes it think there is a problem.

OR.. there is a problem starting with the pump/sender...and it does not have the power to keep the pressure steady.

See if you can find someone that can do a pressure/volume test on the oil system
