Its just an oil level light. Some bikes have very sensative ones and come on rather easily. <p>Rob <br><br></p><i></i>

I agree with the above. Just make sure your oil level is topped right up (there are two dots cast into the engine casings next to the sight window). Mine usually comes on after taking a right hand corner at 120km/h or above. <p></p><i></i>

Common problem, don't panic your engines fine.<br>Mine does it, a '94 with 23,000 miles on it. They all use oil and the level sensor is stupidly sensitive. Mine does it on the trip to Wales and back. Just keep her topped up and you'll be fine.<br><br><br>Rob <p></p><i></i>

I do however think that they're pretty accurate...I mean if its coming on and staying on then you should prob. get some oil pronto............ <p><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:lime;font-size:medium;">Nbot</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>'94 Fizzer Litre</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--></p><i></i>
