It comes on when the bike is idling after riding 20 plus miles. After calling the factory, the dealer order a replacement the oil sensor. The next day after getting the bike out of the shop, riding 20 plus miles, the oil light started coming on again when the bike was idling. Took the bike back to the shop and the dealer consulted the factory again. Let me know if anybody else has heard this from their dealer, sounds like BS to me. The dealer called me yesterday and left a message on my voicemail saying the factory now has a new redesigned sensor and they are shipping it to the dealer. Ok, maybe an oil sensor they redesigned since last week or maybe an oil sensor that doesn't come on at idle or maybe a dealer that doesn't want to take the time to find out why the bike has low oil pressure? Ok, it's possible there is a new redesign oil switch that just came out and the original switch was a faulty design, but to me it sounds like a load of ****. Has anybody else heard this?

I will let you know how mine works out.

I am surprised that there are no reports of cracked rockers. With the added duty they are pulling I would have thought that would be the weak link in the new design.
