Hi,

I have noticed that the in the first 3-4 minutes of my ride the OIL lamp tends to turn on. The first time I have experienced this I have immediately pulled over and at that time the lamp went off during the slowdown. I see this pretty much everytime I ride and the lamp goes off when I pull over and just keep idling the engine (or sometimes even just during the slowdown). If I keep riding with the lamp on then it goes off after about a minute of a ride.

- I have replaced the oil with a good brand at the beginning of the season and the oil level is with in the min-max range closer to the max.
- I feel absolutely zero difference and hear no noises from the engine while the lamp is on
- Normally I idle the engine for about 3-4 minutes before my ride but if I idling it 6-8 minutes then the lamp doesnt turn on.

I got used to live with this and as the oil level is right I kept considering it as a sensor failure. But now - as I'm the member of XJriders (yay!) - I guess its worth asking for the opinion of others. Should I worry about this?

Pls let me know your thoughts.
Thanks!
