Default Oil Light Flicker???????

I have an 07 Street Bob that has just hit 5700 miles. Occassionaly, usually while just cruising, the oil light will flicker quickly. Short, quick oil light, then off. I plan on taking it to the dealer, but anyone have any idea what would cause this? Also any possiblilty the dealer would pull some bs to say it's not covered under the warranty or say it's fine. Thanks

Maybe just nothing, but follow through on your plan to go to the dealership. Get the problem documented.

It doesn't matter if they say it is nothing or they say they found a problem and fixed it. Get it in the shop immediately and have them look at it.

Once they open a service order on it, you concern is in the system.

Hope its nothing, Good luck
