Oil warning light

[unfazed]

I don't, but I'll ask, he seemed a decent enough chap.  I suppose for piece of mind if it happens again I could always stick on a new filter and oil, just to put my mind at rest.
OK, just checked the bike, oil was halfway up the glass.  I've stuck a bit of Castrol Power 1 in and it's moved up the glass..... fingers crossed.
Thanks for putting my mind at rest!
I could have gunned it home afterall!  :lol

As stated in previous posts the oil light is for engine oil level not oil pressure.
Half way up the sight glass is not enough for the fazer and it will flash the oil light regularly, mostly when cold or under hard acceleration.
A common problem when users change the oil and filter is that they fill it to the correct level, but never check it after the initial startup. The filter takes about 300mL to fill and will only fill when the engine is run. This is enough to drop the level half way down the sight glass and bring on the light.
I would suggest for your own peace of mind to change the oil and filter and and then you can gun all you want safe in the knowledge that there is sufficient oil in the engine and it is the proper specification fresh oil.
I have always use the theory: If I have not seen the seller change the oil and filter then I assume it has not been changed and do it myself.
