[QUOTE="BerndV, post: 223881, member: 5178"] Changed my oil at 55 miles on my '07, oil level was nearly to the top dot on the sight glass after running for several minutes and sitting for ten minutes. Fired it up the next day, outside temp aroung 45 degrees, rode off and within one mile the oil level light turns on :dribble: . I stop immediately, shut it down, and I'm thinking WTF! No leaks, start it up, no light and off I go. I've owned a dozen 1000 cc plus streetbikes (no Yamahas) and performed over a hundred oil changes and never had anything like this happen. I get home, put it on the centerstand, let it sit for ten minutes, and the oil level is perfect. Bottom line: the sensor is WAY too sensitive and if the bike had an oil pressure light instead these oil light threads wouldn't exist. IMHO if this happens to you and you know your oil level is correct, don't sweat it. However, it is great to have a forum like this so that you don't think that you are the one unlucky bastard in the world having some weird problem like this with your new machine. :glare: [/QUOTE]
