Sweet I'll try it for sure. I was thinking maybe its a connection issue. Maybe the oil is getting thick when its cold and causing too much resistance. Then when its warm it drips off or get thin enough to let some voltage through.

I would buy some s1000, it's a all purpose motorcycle cleaner. Cleans the crap out of oily and greasy stuff. Spray it on a cold engine, let it sit for a few minutes and hose it off. Works awesome on my Harley. Tried it on my riding mower, awesome. Looked brand new. Safe for painted surfaces too, does leave a slight haze one Crome and paint but wipes off. I just went through some IP issues and I wouldn't spray a hot IP with cold water.
