    I thought that was a familiar alarm.

    I stood on the table and watched for fluid movment in the clear tubing going to the radiator there was none.

    you will have to take all the covers off the spindle to replace the coupler.

    Let me know if you have any questions

    Also our quick fix was to super glue the coupler then add heat shrink to the outside of the coupler, we ran the machine that way while waiting for the replacement part

    At the top of the spindle motor,should be to the right and back if standing in front of the machine, is a pressure switch. It's the thing with 2 or 3 wires coming from it. It should also have the clear oil lines attached to it. I had this problem on my 1999 VF-2. If you can see the oil running through the lines while the spindle is on you are getting lubrication and the pressure switch needs replaced. If no oil flows while spindle is running the pump needs replaced. If it's just the pressure switch you can take the wires off it and connect them together, in effect bypassing the switch. This will allow you to run until the new switch arrives.

    thanks a lot Erich, you are 100% correct about rubber coupling, actually we're connecting the bypass. i appreciated all of you for the help.

    thanks for all guys,
