Yesterday i rode home from college (24 miles) in the pouring rain, got approx 500m from home when the oil warning light starts flashing (It was flashing at rate of low fuel warning, at same time) so i knock it into neutral, killl the engine and coast it home and pull into garage out of rain. knowing oil level wont't be right till it's had chance to drop i go get a cuppa and dry off.
5 minutes later i go out and check oil level...Fine 3/4 way btwn F & L, check filter isn't loose ....nope & check sump plugs still there n tight...yup. Turn ignition on and fire her up....no warning lights...wait 2 mins for low fuel to kick in and oil light doesn't come back on.
Any ideas anybody ?? don't want to ride her if i'm doing damage but i don't know that i am as everything seems fine, no knocking, no power loss, gears change as they did before etc. etc.
