Default changed oil and oil light stays on

I changed my oil and the oil light stays on I bleed the system like the manual says and ity still stays on. I spinned the motot over and it is getting oil traveling through. So I let it idle a few more minutes and still got nothing. The bombardier dealers and techs is a joke. The make you wish you never bought a DS. They have no clue what is going on. I taked to 3 dealers and not one of them have ever changed the oil. I read there is a call back on the ds2002 baja which is what I have.The oil switch is faulty. Need help on the bleeding procedure before I take it to the dealer. What to check.

I put in 3.3 quarts. I called a dealer and he told me to add another 16oz because that was a little low.

3.3 quarts is right - if you don't include the oil filter. With the filter it's more like 4 quarts so you should be ok in that aspect I believe. My guess is the oil pressure sensor. Check out this thread here

I have the right amount of oil in the bike. So do you think the sensor went because I changed the oil. That sucks.

Could also be air in the system.
Do a search for "bleed screw" and bleed the oil circuit of air.

It's kinda strange that the sensor would fail while doing an oil change.
