I decided to take the bike to work today, on the way home, doing about 70 up the A2 the red oil warning light came on! :eek
I pulled over, didn't really know what to check, because obviously with the engine hot, no oil was going to show in the window anyway. I turned the bike off, left it a couple of minutes, restarted it and rode slowly home.
When I got the bike the other week I did check the oil and it was ok. The chap who sold it said he had replaced the filter and oil.
There are no signs of major oil loss, no big puddle wherever I park the bike so if the bike has dumped it's oil I can't see where.
Can the oil light mean anything else other than "you have no oil left"?
Once the bike cools down this evening I'll have a look at the guage but I can't see where I've lost an engine full of oil.
Cheers in advance.
Forgot to say, when I got home I couldn't select neutral, it kept going from 1 to 2. I turned off the engine and it went straight into neutral, no probs..... is this connected?
