I can't even see the level through the sight glass, its brown so I imagine its dirty from gunk build up?
The oil level is checked with the bike on the centre stand on level ground,start bike & let it idle for a few minutes turn engine off & wait a few minutes then check the level in the sight which should be between the two pips at side of sight glass if you don't see clear level it's overfilled at 2000 miles the sight glass should be clear to see level.When refilling slowly add oil to the full pip on the sight glass put oil filler back in & run engine again for a one minute then switch off wait a few minutes again & check level top up oil to top level & your done.

Wondering if the 2000 miles part is actually the problem, the bike has been sitting still for long periods of time, possibly with very old oil in it, gunking things up in the process? It might need properly flushing out.
I wouldn't personally be changing the oil today though, if a dealer is going to do it all again tomorrow.When i was saying measure what's in there it was more to do with having the right amount to get you safely to the shop. As Fazerider said though, is there any white mayo like substance on the inside of the oil cap?And is the mileage definitely TWO thousand miles?
Fazer oil level sensors are known for being a bit temperamental, they either just stick or corrosion get in or on the contacts causing a short. It's normally sorted by a simple clean up of the connectors, some need removal and a clean. The latter is best done during an oil change, some do fail that said, I've never replaced one. The sensor is really just early warning of low oil level and they're pretty sensitive 100ml ish from on to off. The slight glass is the best way to check your oil level, best checked 5 mins after you've ridden it, half way is good. Fazer are really good on oil a healthy engine should use almost nothing between changes. Pull off the contractors, if there corroded clean them as best you can, both the wire end and on the sensor. Reconnect if the light goes out bingo sorted, put some silicon grease on them and recover, job done, drain out the oil, if the oil is good/new or still a few 1000's to go be needing changing tip it back in 3/4 way up the sight glass. Ride check 5mins after you've stopped.I'd also not recommend starting sorted bikes every week, all your doing is encouraging moisture in the engine, which over time can start to emulsify the oil and it breaks down the oil faster. In my opinion best way to store a bike, service the brakes, chain, levers, cables etc, pinch the fuel line and run the bike until it stops, hook up the Optimate (or similar) and leave it. It will be fine like this for couple years, I kid you not.
yeah milage is definitely TWO thousand, I have all MOT's, documents and original invoice from 2003 so 100% original

I had the exact same problem on my 2002 FZS600 in the end, gave it a good thrashing and the light never came on again
