One of the posters mentioned doing this. 2 wires go to the sender. Do they get disconnected or joined?
Thanks

Ok. So let me get this straight
Your engine manufacturer has kindly included a low oil level cut out to protect the engine you just spent alot of money on... in order that if you forget to check the oil you wont be left with a expensive chunk of useless metal and a trip to ER should you have been riding the bike at the time and it decided to throw a rod through your leg and/or you into the nearest poison ivy bush...
Why on earth would you want to disable a useful function like that? it wouldnt be difficult to rewire it in order to make it show a warning light or something of that nature instead of cutting the motor... but that would mean the engine would still be running and at the worst tearing itself to bits.
The responsibility of any autocycle/motorcycle/motorized bike rider is to make sure their equipment is fit for use... that includes oil levels, fluid levels, brakes, pads, tyre pressures and tread, lights and the rest of the items...
If the engine does cut out due to low oil condition that is not the fault of the motor, its designed to do that... its the fault of the rider who didnt maintain their eqiupment properly and then whines when they headbut a tree because a safety feature did what it was supposed to do...

Then you troubleshoot the problem - but there is also the fact that this is what will happen if engines are used that are not designed to be used in this fashion...
An easy fix - it sounds like the trigger for this is a rocker switch that drops and makes a permanant ignition break when it senses the oil is low either correctly or erroneously...
Drain the engine and take out the switch - if as I suspect the thing is some sort of float on a wire or even a simple wire or something, simply bend the wire or adjust the float and test to the point where it wont cut out at normal oil levels but will when the oil is low... this can easily be done with the motor ticking over by angling the bike as it would be angled into turns......
