Do you mean it comes on while you are riding? After 75 miles? The light coming on could mean NO OIL PRESSURE, or a defective switch or loose wire. I see it's a 2014.....take it to the dealer, now.

Please have someone translate this into English so we can understand what you are trying to say.

Translation:

"I already took it to the dealership and the tech reported 'could not replicate'. So, I went back to the dealership and rode it to make the light come on, but it wouldn't for me either. It seems like it only comes on when I'm heading home from over an hour away."
Good translation. As was said earlier, could be a switch or loose wire. You rode the bike 1 hour both ways without the motor seizing so you had oil pressure. Go buy a good oil pressure gauge and don't just depend on an oil light.
Thanks houstonronnie and where can I get an oil light from
Sounds like you could have a defective oil filter . Change the oil & use a K&N oil filter !
Is this bike still under warranty? If so I wouldn't be buying anything. Squeaky wheel gets the grease. Camp out at the dealer and keep complaining. Escalate the issue until it is resolved. Be polite but firm. JMO

Holy crap seriously.

Is that English or some dialect?

Christ, unless it's stolen, bring it back to Harley - make those bastids deal with it. Surely it's under warranty?

They can't make it come on and it don't always come on it just a by chance thing
Are you sure it's the oil light, and not the check engine light?
Positive it's an oil can with a drip of oil the check engine is an engine
You need to escalate this issue while it is still under warranty. Formal complaint to HD maybe in order. List each time you took it in and what was done. How often you have had the issue. If you don't pursue the issue, you will end up living with it. Don't take no for an answer.
