Oil.... It's all getting technical.

[Steve_H...]

As long as the light stays off and you go a bit steady I would have thought you would be ok [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

But don't quote me on it ok

Yeah my thoughts too, but nice to be backed up... Sure it will be fine.

Thanks [smiley=thumbsup.gif]

I think if you stay in 1st gear and around 2000rpm you should be ok!

Remember in future to check your oil when the engine is cold its the same for tyre pressures.

Think i need to remember to check it full stop mate... :

Speaking to a mate of mine who also has a new shaped blade, he says the bike is a bit thirsty with oil so don't be surprised if the warning light comes on again.

+1 big time for what Loudpipes says - basically if the red light comes on when your engine is running, you're in trouble - it doesn't signify oil level in as much, but more importantly OIL PRESSURE!!! - when the light is on, the pressure switch is detecting NOTHING, no oil pressure, your oil pump is pumping air, or at best very little oil. Let's say your tacho was showing 6000rpm at the time, and the light was illuminated for just one second - in that second your crank rotated 100 times with NO oil feed to the main bearings and big ends, plus all the cams, valve gear, gearbox and other bearings throughout the engine. >
Your engine has a dipstick - check it regularly FFS or it'll get very expensive! Honda won't honour a warranty claim for an engine starved of oil - that's negligence, or incompetence - you choose. As it's fairly new I'd hazard a guess that you spent a fair bit of money on it - if it seizes, throws a rod and chucks you down the road it'll be worth diddly :'( Read the owner's handbook or workshop manual to learn the procedure and keep an eye on it from now on! :
