Oil Light

[Mark Olson]

its a yamaha thing.

Killin me mark...   

Hey Frank ,

True story from when i took my bike to the dealer back in 86 and was told this by the service guru.
They used it as a way to tell who was actually riding hard and who the lame riders were.
He explained there were a lot of fouled plugs from riders who never got past 5k rpm on their bikes and would bring them in for service under warranty.
So if you said you were seeing an oil light on acceleration they knew you were gettin it on.

Great story and based on my experience it's a great guideline.  Wiz can turn the light on with a freshly changed, fully warmed 4qt fill if you're in a hurry...  it really is a better accelerometer than oil level monitor.  Rare time when a red indicator might be a good thing...
