FI light and oil warning
 
Hey all, went to bike for life bikefest today. Thousands of bikes ended up at Cosford air museum. Long story short. Coolant temp pretty high but fan coped. However in the traffic jam, my FI light showed and oil warning symbol also showed. Pulled over and switched off to let her cool down. After about 15 mins switched her back on and continued without a hitch. No problems on the way home. Is there any chance of permanent damage?

How was the engine oil level?

Engine oil level was about the F mark, it was the first thing I checked when I parked up.

P.S. drove to work today, everything seems OK. Kept close eye on temp, and oil. Might do an oil change tonight. What do you think?

How long since the oil and filter were changed. I have seen this sort of problem with clogged filters

I changed the oil and filter recently, within about 1000 miles. Can't tell you for sure until I get home.

As long as the oil level is right,and the filter is relatively recent,I doubt if you actually have low oil pressure.Possibly it just got hot in the traffic and had a hissy fit.All ok now?

Yeah all OK now. I also spoke to my local mechanic and he agrees. I think I'm just being a bit paranoid.
