Try disconnecting the oil sensor plug from the top of the dip stick and turn the sled on should light up,no need to be riding it.

Right, its a connect sensor -- when the oil level drops, it CREATES a circuit. You would have to disconnect the plug and short the leads. Thats not a good way to check the sensor. That basically would check the WIRE and the LIGHT, but not the sensor. Go ahead and idle it with the dipstick up.

Thanks i will do that.I guess its a closed circuit.And when the oil drops low enough the sensor makes a contact to open the circuit to make the light come on.
