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

Mine does that too on occaision, mostly after giving it a good hiding. If the levels right, you're sweet<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> Put some black tape over it<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/images/emoticons/happy.gif ALT=":D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <p><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Clint.</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><br><!--EZCODE BOLD START--><strong><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:red;">'87 FZR1000T</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></strong><!--EZCODE BOLD END--><br><!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em><!--EZCODE FONT START--><span style="color:white;">gen·e·sis (jen-i-sis)n. pl.:The coming into being of something; the origin.</span><!--EZCODE FONT END--></em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--><br><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>
