hi. i'm new to your forum and a relatively new owner of a 2005 sv650 - had it a little over a month. the warranty is expired on my new baby, and unfortunately as i was driving it away from the stealership where i got it, the oil light came on for a few seconds. it's done that half a dozen times since - always on the interstate at speeds of 80 mph and up. if i slow down a little, the light turns off. the bike seems to run just fine otherwise, and it only has about 2500 miles on it. when it comes to wrenching, i'm about as useful as a poopie-flavored lolly pop, but luckily my man-toy (he loves that) is pretty mechanically inclined. so if anyone has any ideas about things to investigate/troubleshoot on the bike, i'd really appreciate it, and pass it along to him. thanks! -kate
